Penncrest High School Honors Seven National Merit Scholars

Congratulations to Emma Ahlgren, Jack Fletcher, Abigail Kleiman, Dorothy McCafferty, Samuel Rose, Alexandra Shearer, and Marcus Troy for earning the award of Commended Students in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program. A letter of commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented to these scholastically talented seniors.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2018 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2018 competition by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
