According to the release, a letter of commendation “from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was awarded to this scholastically talented senior.”
Some 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation have been recognized for their exceptional academic promise, the release noted.

The release quoted a National Merit Scholarship program “spokesperson,” who, it noted, said: “Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success. 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 this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
