Students and parents gathered in the Legacy High School library this morning for a surprise meeting. None were aware of the reason behind this meeting until Principal Dr. Walls announced four different College Board honors would be recognized.
“These students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success. These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that these recognitions will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success,” a spokesperson for National Merit Scholarship Corporation said.
Commended Students in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program are recognized for the exceptional academic promise demonstrated by their outstanding performance on the PSAT. These students placed among the top 50,000 highest scores from across the nation.
