Congratulations to MVHS students Tommy Ferguson, Anna Vavricek, and Dash Yamanishi for being recently named as National Merit Scholar Finalists.

To become a Finalist, the Semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship application, in which they provide information about the Semifinalist’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received. A Semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn SAT® or ACT® scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test. Roughly 15,000 students have advanced to become a Finalist.

Congratulations on this prestigious honor!
