Student Spotlight: Joshua ’25, National Merit Commended Student

We are thrilled to celebrate Joshua ’25, who has been named a Commended Student in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program! This prestigious recognition places Joshua among the top students nationwide, highlighting his exceptional academic promise.

Each year, thousands of students across the country take the PSAT as part of the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying process. Joshua’s outstanding performance placed him among the top 50,000 students out of tens of thousands of participants, earning him this distinguished honor.
