They are among a select few across the country to receive this honor.

Approximately 34,000 students across the country were recognized for their outstanding academic performance with this designation. These five placed among the top 5 percent of 1.6 million students who entered the competition by completing the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

The district congratulates East Meadow High School seniors Patrick Cruz, John Lam, Adeena Moghni and Mary Zaradich, and W.T. Clarke High School senior Joshua Guo on their distinguished academic performances.
