“I am excited for ����Vlog High School students recently recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program,” said Joel Herbst, Ed.D., superintendent, ����Vlog PK-12 Schools and Educational Programs. “This year 58 of our 173 members of our senior class have been recognized for their scholastic success.”

To become a National Merit finalist, each semifinalist must submit a detailed scholarship application, which includes their academic record, extracurricular activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, honors and awards.
