These seniors scored in the top percentile in the country on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). The 16,000 semifinalists nationwide — less than 1% of high school seniors — will continue in the competition for some 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $30 million.

Congratulations also to junior Amanda Betancourt for being selected as a National Hispanic Recognition Award recipient.
