Meet Lakewood High's 3 National Merit Commended Scholars

LAKEWOOD, OH — The highly competitive National Merit Scholarship Program has recognized three Lakewood High students as some of the top performers in the state and nation. Seniors Nicholas Cleary, Timothy Daso, and Andrew Sheldon have all been named Commended Scholars.

Commended Scholars earn their designation through competition on PSAT scores. That means more than 1.6 million high school students, from 22,000 high schools, enter the National Merit Scholarship competition each year. That's a lot of competition.

Students take the PSAT their junior year. Commended Scholars must place among the top 3 to 4 percent of PSAT participants.

Lakewood's three Commended Scholars — Cleary, Baso, and Sheldon — will be recognized at the November 5 Board of Education meeting at Lakewood High School.

Patch would like to congratulate these three outstanding young students!
