PREP ANNOUNCES NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS
The Jackson Preparatory School class of 2008, with 17
National Merit Semifinalists, continues a Jackson Prep tradition of
outstanding performance in the National Merit Scholarship program. Since
1970, Jackson Prep has produced 488 National Merit Semifinalists. More
than 1.4 million juniors in nearly 21,000 U.S. high schools entered
the 2008 National Merit Program by taking the 2006 Preliminary SAT/National
Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial
screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, which
represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes
the highest scoring entrants in each state. Pictured are the National
Merit Semifinalists. Row 1 (l to r): Laura Sorey, Emily Hildebrandt,
Chambliss Williams, Marita Walton, Kaitlin O’Donnell, Laura Chancellor,
Alix Zachow, Betel Ezaz, and Haleh Wilson. Row 2 (l to r): Mark Pinkerton,
Bryant Salmon, Chris Russell, Drew Lewis, Patterson Fenelon, John Harrison
York, Martin Shepherd, and Garrett Taylor.
