National Recognition for Seniors
This fall, officials of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced the names of high achieving students from the 58th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Students enter the competition by taking the PSAT/NMSQT during their junior year. Over 1.5 million juniors were considered for the 2012 awards and Rocky Hill School is pleased to announce that three seniors earned recognition through this national program.
- Nicholas Cicchetti was named a National Merit Semifinalist. Nick scored in the top 1% nationally on the PSAT administered during his junior year. Fewer than 60 high school students from Rhode Island were named National Merit Semifinalists. Nick completed an application for continued participation in the competition to be named a finalist which could earn him a college scholarship.
- Jeannette Stacey was named a National Merit Commended Scholar. Jeannette scored in the top 5% nationally on the PSAT administered during her junior year.
- Elias Bello was honored by the National Hispanic Recognition Program. Elias' score places him in the 98th percentile nationwide among Hispanic SAT testers.
