PREP ANNOUNCES NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS The Jackson Preparatory School class of 2009, with 10 National Merit Semifinalists, continues a Jackson Prep tradition of outstanding performance in the National Merit Scholarship program. Since 1970, Jackson Prep has produced 498 National Merit Semifinalists. More than 1.5 million juniors in nearly 21,000 U.S. high schools entered the 2009 National Merit Program by taking the 2007 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 Prep’s National Merit Semifinalists. Row 1 (l to r): Ramsey Frey, Ellen Haick, Catherine Mounger, Miriam Taylor, Katherine Lindell and Laurel Lackey. Row 2 (l to r): Jared Moffat, Matthew Valentine, David Zhang and Farris Antoon.
