Tyler ISD congratulates students for receiving Letters of Commendation in recognition of their academic promise.  Robert E. Lee High School has five students who have been named Commended Students from the 2010 National Merit Scholarship Program. The students are seniors Wendy Ji, Evan Gordon, Shelby Spell, Molly Cook, and Madison Mackey.

This honor is awarded based on a Selection Index score, which is the sum of scores from the critical reading, math, and writing skills section.

Approximately 34,000 of the 50,000 high scorers in each annual National Merit Program are named as Commended Students.  These students become candidates for Special Scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
