Congratulations to East High School Senior, Sam Rickert, one of 26 MMSD students who were named National Merit Scholar Semifinalists. This designation is based on high performance on the 202 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Less than one percent of the 1.5 million juniors nationwide who took the test were awarded semifinalist status. To become a finalist, students and their advisors must provide information about their academic record, their leadership abilities, participation in activities at school and around the community, and about any honors or awards they've received. Finalists are announced in February, and winners are selected from this pool and announced in the spring. Congratulations, Sam!
