5 PMHS Seniors Named National Merit Finalists

From Pelham Schools: All five PMHS students who were named National Merit Semifinalists this past fall were again selected as Finalists in the 2018-19 Scholarship Competition.

Seniors Elise Aronson, Rachel Brewer, Richard Che, Ben Glickman and Liam Ronan were among the 15,000 students nationwide given the prestigious honor. They will now be considered for approximately 7,500 Merit Scholarships with winners being announced April-July.

“The fact that all five of our semifinalists advanced to the next round is extremely impressive,” said PMHS Principal Jeannine Clark. “To be among the thousands of incredibly talented students from across the country is truly special and is a reflection of the countless hours of hard work put in by Elise, Rachel, Richard, Ben and Liam, as well as their teachers.”

Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies.
