Three seniors in the Wentzville R-IV School District have been named Commended Students in the 2009 National Merit Scholarship Program.
Julia Pitlyk and Chelsea Tossing of Holt High School and Randy A. Johnston of Timberland High School will receive a Letter of Commendation from their school and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2009 competition by taking the 2007 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“Recognition of academically talented students and the key role played by schools in their development is essential to the pursuit of education excellence in our nation,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC.
“The young people named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding academic potential by their strong performance in this highly competitive program. We hope that this recognition will enhance their educational opportunities and that they will continue to diligently pursue their professional goals.”
