National Merit Semi-Finalists

Florence High School is proud to announce the names of National Merit Scholar Semi-finalist Ujunwa Anakwenze. She is among 16,000 semi-finalists in the 54th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.  These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,200 Merit Scholarship awards, worth $34 million, that will be offered next spring. 

More than 1.4 million juniors in nearly 21,000 high schools entered the 2009 National Merit Program by taking the 2007 preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screening of program entrants.  The Semi-finalists, who represent less than one-percent of U.S. high school seniors, include the highest scoring entrants in each state.  Congratulations Ujunwa!

National Commended Scholars Announced

Florence High School is pleased to announce that four of our students, Andy Husted, Courtney Leyde, Janie Locker, and Maranda Rickard have been named Commended Scholars in the 2009 National Merit Scholarship Program.  Commended students are being recognized for the exceptional academic promise demonstrated by their outstanding performance on the qualifying test used for program entry.

Over 1.4 million students took the test, and our FHS students are among only 34,000 high performers named Commended Students.

We are very proud of these students!
