Notre Dame Academy is pleased to announce that three students from the class of 2017 have been recognized as National Merit Finalists by the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program. NDA seniors, Brooke Schulte, Paige Montfort and Abbie Guard have all earned the distinction of National Merit Finalist.
These students were among the 16,000 semifinalists named in the National Merit Scholarship Program’s 62nd competition in September recognizing each state’s top students. A total of 1.5 million high school juniors entered the program by taking the 2015 PSAT test. To become finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program, these young women submitted scholarship applications that included information about their academic records, co-curricular activities, leadership abilities, honors, awards and employment.
“It is an incredible honor for three of our students to be recognized as National Merit Finalists,” said Mr. Jack VonHandorf, Principal of Notre Dame Academy. “This accomplishment is a reflection of the diligence of our students and dedication of our faculty. We congratulate these young women and their families.”
