We are proud of these 11 seniors who were named National Merit Scholarship semifinalists: James Byrer, Simren Garg, Alexander Gklaros-Stavropoulos, Tej Nadkarni, Divya (Devyn) Ponnuvelu, Rhishi Balaa Sakthivel, Kenya Sweatt, Katie Tao, Smriti Vijay, Katherine Winton and Anvitha Yalamanchili. Congratulations!

They qualified by taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screen.

The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
Go Lancers!
