PREP ANNOUNCES NATIONAL MERIT SEMIFINALISTS

The Jackson Preparatory School class of 2010, with 9 National Merit Semifinalists, continues a Jackson Prep tradition of outstanding performance in the National Merit Scholarship program. Since 1970, Jackson Prep has produced 507 National Merit Semifinalists. More than 1.5 million juniors in nearly 21,000 U.S. high schools entered the 2010 National Merit Program by taking the 2008 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): Rachel Wehr, Alexandra Franklin, Sydney Stringer and Mary Ball Markow. Row 2 (l to r): Andrew Li, Clint Pride, Jack Strahan, Landen Tharp and Blake Scott.
