"We are very pleased that two of our students have been recognized by the National Achievement Scholarship Competition," said Jenny Rifken Fisher, Director of College Counseling. "Chi and Kyle have distinguished themselves in the classroom and beyond. They are bright, talented, and should be praised for such a noteworthy achievement."

The Commended Students are: Trevor Adams, Sami Ascha, Nathan Krebs, Eric Ma, Sam Moazami, Ryan Onders, Phillip Vorster, and Tyler Wasser.
