Highland
Park High School honored 16 students who were named National Merit
Semifinalists during an Oct. 6 luncheon at the Dallas Country Club. Students
are selected based on performance on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test. The semifinalists' scores are among the top 1
percent of high school seniors in the U.S.
During
the luncheon, HPHS Principal Walter Kelly congratulated the students, and also
recognized the parents who were in attendance.
"Today we celebrate the extraordinary achievement of these
16 exceptional young scholars as individuals and to recognize the contribution
they have made to the academic reputation of our school," Kelly said at
the luncheon. "We also want to thank the proud parents who have made
education a priority at home and who have supported these students throughout
their years in school."
The
16 students will continue in the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's
competition for 7,400 scholarships worth $32 million that will be offered
in the spring.
