National Merit Scholarship Program

Waynesville High School congratulates Nicholas Ronald for being named a Commended Student in the 2023 National Merit Scholarship Program.  A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Program was presented by the principal, Karyn Denslow, to this scholastically talented senior.  

Students entered the National Merit Scholarship Program, a nationwide competition for recognition and awards conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®), by taking the 2021 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®) last October. In April, NMSC identified the 50,000 highest scorers and notified their high schools. Some 16,000 of those high performers were recently designated Semifinalists on a state representational basis. Their schools were notified a few weeks ago and NMSC released their names to news media. Only Semifinalists have an opportunity to continue in the Merit Scholarship® competition and advance to Finalist standing by meeting a number of additional requirements.

Congratulations Nick!!
