GENEVA – Geneva High School Principal Tom Rogers has announced

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.
“The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated
outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for
NMSC. “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. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their
educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit
of academic success.”
