Southwest Academic Honors - National Merit Scholarship Semi-finalists

Southwest High School is both pleased and proud to announce the academic accomplishments of our students.
 
  We have 11 seniors (c/o 2015) who have qualified to be named National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists for the 2014-2015 year.  This merit is recognized by the student performance on the National Pre-SAT (PSAT) exam taken last October.  Finalists will be announced in early 2015.  
 
The Semi-Finalists are: Seth Colbert-Pollack, Sebastian Coll, Nathaniel Larson, Casey Lee-Foss, Peter Lefebvre, Avery Loya, Russell Pekala, Yueqi Ren, Noah Rothman, Alice Schmitz, and Rebecca Tincher.  These students are in the academic top one-half of one percent of the seniors across the country.
 
Further recognition for excellent academic performance goes to Russell Pekala (grade 12) for being named National Advanced Placement Scholar (AP Scholar).  This distinction is characterized by scoring a 4 or higher on eight or more National AP Exams.  Southwest has 83 other students with various distinctions connected to the AP Scholar Program.
 
Please congratulate all of these students!
