Jackson Allen and Jonathan Randall were named National Merit Semfinalists after they scored in the top 1 percent of the 1.6 million American high school students taking the PSAT/NMSQT test as juniors. They are now eligible to compete for 7,500 scholarship awards worth $32 million.

Cale Kimball, Robert Reed, Scott Griffin, Onyedikachi “Oby” Uche, Noah Henry and the late Austin Silva all earned Commended status for their achievement. Silva was also named a National Hispanic Scholar due to his high score and his Hispanic heritage.

You’ll recall Silva was the much-beloved Wrangler and Wildcat tennis player who died after complications from having wisdom teeth removed.

Congratulations to these students for their outstanding work.
