Eleven seniors from the Stevenson School class of 2012 have been recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for their academic achievement in the national competition.
Two of them were selected as National Merit semifinalists: Jackie Choi and Hyung Jin (Tom) Kim.
Nine Stevenson students were named National Commended Scholars including Farah Abouzeid, Fiona Alfait, Carolyn Bruckmann, Philip James, Anna Miller, Taliesin (Tilly) Namkai-Meche, Kevin Tang, Roman (Christian) Trenka, and Elizabeth Wickersham.
Students earn a commendation by the National honors program by scoring on the top 5 percent of the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship qualifying test.
The eleven students in Stevenson add to one Seaside High school student and 20 from York who were also recognized by the national organization.
Commended students are named on the basis of a national index score that may vary from year to year. Although commended students do not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships, some become candidates for special scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
