174 Seniors Earn Recognition in National Scholar Programs

Austin, TX— This fall, 174 seniors from the Ƭapp School District are being recognized for outstanding academic performance by the National Merit Scholarship Program, the National Hispanic Recognition Program and the National Achievement Scholarship Program. Twenty-one students received recognition in more than one program.

"We congratulate these students for this remarkable achievement,” Superintendent Meria Carstarphen said. “This national recognition earned by these students brings honor to their schools and communities. It reminds us of our duty to continue to challenge and inspire students to perform at elevated levels so they are prepared for higher education and the workforce.”

Students are selected based on their scores on the preliminary SAT exam, which they take as juniors. Because of their high scores on this assessment, these students are now eligible for scholarship awards from institutions of higher education and other grantors.

  • 42 National Merit Semifinalists
