National Merit Semifinalists Announced

Today, officials of National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced the names of approximately 16,000 Semifinalists in the 57th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.
Celina High School is proud to announce that two of those students are in the CHS class of 2012.  


Seniors Elise Elston and Justin Hoffman (pictured below) have the distinct honor of being National Merit Semifinalists.  Congratulations & good luck to the two of them as they proceed in the competition.  More details about the Merit Scholarship program is below.




These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,300 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $34 million that will be offered next spring.  To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition.  About 90% of the Semifinalists are expected to attain Finalist standing, and more than half of the Finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.
