Among top 3% nationwide
National Merit program honors three NDCL juniors
The National Merit Scholarship Program has notified three NDCL students that they are among the top 50,000 scorers out of more than 1.5 million juniors who took last fall's Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT).
Because of their outstanding performance on the PSAT, Vincent Mickey, Courtney Thomas, and Antonio Vitale will qualify as as National Merit commended students, semi-finalists, or finalists. Those prestigious designations will not be announced until September.
"Vince, Courtney, and Antonio placed in the top 3% of all students who took the PSAT throughout the United States," explained Principal Mr. Joseph A. Waler.
"Their outstanding achievement opens up many doors of opportunity for them and serves as a bellwether of the strength of our college-preparatory curriculum and instruction—even during the COVID-19 pandemic," he added.
