A Letter of Commendation from St. Mary’s High School and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC,) which conducts the program, was presented by St. Mary’s High School Principal Mindi Imes this morning to these scholastically talented students.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in the academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
