The National Merit Scholarship Program is an annual competition for recognition and scholarships that is open to all US high school students who meet published entry requirements. Semifinalists named in each year’s Merit Scholarship competition show exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Over 1.4 million students in more than 21,000 high schools entered the 2008 Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2006 PSAT. Semifinalists are the highest-scoring entrants and represent less than 1% of the state’s high school seniors. Please help me congratulate the semifinalists from Decatur High’s class of 2008:

Jennifer Campbell

Juan Cardoza-Oquendo

John Morgan

Robert Nuttall

We wish them the best of luck as they compete to advance to Finalist, and ultimately, award recipients!
