Two NCS seniors were among 16,000 students nationwide named as semifinalists in the 2023 National Merit Scholarship Program. This honor establishes them among the top 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors who took last fall's PSAT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test).

Stephanie Dragoi '24 and Keira Gutierrez '24 were selected on the basis of their scores last October on the PSAT, which is taken by about 1.6 million high school juniors each year.

The two semifinalists are now eligible to apply for consideration as a National Merit Finalist, a determination based on test scores, academic records, recommendations, and essays. The National Merit Scholarship Corp. finalists will be announced in February.

Seventeen members of the Class of 2023 earned Commended Scholars designation: Arabella Carlos, Isabel Flynn, Isabella Guagenti, Taylor Guzman, Amelia Hanbury, Leela Kachru, Aanya Kolli, Caedy Lee, Olivia Liu, Ava Milloy, Annalise Ross, Madeline Ryan, Nicole Schwartz, Abbey Shumsky, Ellie Suh, Lilly Vickerman, and Vivian Wei.

Congratulations to all!
