The following information is from a Nazareth Academy news release.

Deborah Tracy, Principal of Nazareth Academy, announced today that Adeline Doyle (Western Springs), Meghan Sullivan (Stickney) and Charles Swarts (Westchester) have been named Commended Scholars in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Program.

A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented to these scholastically talented seniors.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2015 competition for NMSC awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who took the 2013 PSAT.

Upon notifying the recipients, Tracy said, “We are extremely proud of their outstanding accomplishment. These students excel academically and in many other facets of our school mission. We applaud them and their parents for the great ways they represent themselves, their families and Nazareth Academy.”

Nazareth Academy, a Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory high school serving families from 55 communities and over 115 grade schools in Chicago and the western suburbs, established in 1900 and sponsored by the Congregation of St. Joseph, values scholarship, service, spirit, and unity.
