Commended Recognition for Rocky Point Students

Rocky Point High School students Joseph Niver and Lauren McBrearty have been named Commended Students in the National Merit Scholarship Program.

Approximately 34,000 students throughout the nation received this honor, which is based upon the exceptional academic promise they demonstrated on the qualifying test used for program entry. Although they will not continue in the 2015 competition, these students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the competition by taking the PSAT.

Congratulations to these outstanding students and their academic achievements!
