Three Hen Hud students named National Merit Scholarship Commended Students

Hendrick Hudson High School announced today that seniors Danielle Bufano, Kennan Ewing and Spencer Mazzilli have been named Commended Students in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship program.

“The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” said an NMSC spokesperson. “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.”
