These students were chosen as National Merit Semi-Finalists as a result of their high-ranking PSAT scores. “Our outstanding students have not only brought pride to themselves with this distinction, they have brought pride to their families and to our school,”  Principal Laurelyn Arterbury said. “This is a culmination of lots of great teachers from elementary and middle school who prepared students for high school, as well as parents who shared a commitment for education with their children.”
