Twenty-two seniors from The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky have been recognized as semifinalists in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Competition.
Since The Gatton Academy’s inception in 2007, a total of 183 students have been named National Merit Semifinalists. Eighty-six current Gatton Academy seniors took the PSAT, meaning 25.6 percent of students achieved the National Merit Semifinalist level.
“It is important to recognize these remarkable young people for this accomplishment and also acknowledge they have many strengths beyond their test scores. These students contribute to the Gatton Academy’s community and their home communities in innumerable ways,” said Dr. Lynette Breedlove, Director of The Gatton Academy.
