Announced by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, this is the first round of competition for students seeking the distinction of being named a National Merit Scholar and receiving the scholarship money associated with it. Scholarship winners will be announced in the spring.
The students were identified through exceptionally high scores on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which they took as juniors. As semifinalists, the students now must fulfill several requirements in order to advance to the finalist round. They must have a record of high academic performance, be endorsed and recommended by their school leadership, and earn SAT scores that confirm their earlier qualifying test performance.
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation conducts the
annual National Merit Scholarship and National Achievement Scholarship programs. Scholarships awarded through the programs are underwritten by business organizations and higher education institutions, as well as by the organization's own funds.

FRESHMAN FLIGHT UPDATE
Freshman
FLIGHT (
Friendship,
Learning,
Investing,
Giving,
Helping,
Thriving) has kicked off the year with a fantastic start! It began during orientation with the incoming freshman getting to know their mentors, peers, and instructors by participating in icebreakers, around the room chats, small group discussions and a campus wide scavenger hunt.
So far during FLIGHT the Eagle Leaders have shared study tips, advice, and tricks for managing the school day and extracurricular responsibilities and answered freshmen questions such as, "Should I ride in the car with a junior?", "What is the best method to study for a test?" and "Does an AP class last both semesters?"
They have taken a study break to spend free time on the front lawn and worked as group to decide how to spend their "student choice day". Eagle Leaders also encouraged freshmen during FLIGHT to shop for one or two suitable clubs which fit their personality during the club fair.
The FLIGHT groups are discussing Habitudes which are leadership principles represented by images. The Iceberg image (character is more important than looks) and Golden Buddha image (don't judge a book by its cover) have already been introduced to the students. The Eagle Leaders also welcomed new students to the Milton family during a new student breakfast, an ice cream social, and a midday tailgate to gear up for the first home game!
