The North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District congratulates the following students who have been named Commended Students in the 2023 National Merit Scholarship Program.
Sixteen students in the district have been selected as Commended Students and they are:
- North Hunterdon High School – Danica Chakroborty, Antoni Halka, Emma Hall, Avni Kondra, Rohit Mandadi, Anokhi Matta, Jordan Pai, Ryan Shen, Stephanie Teipel, Clayton Tomlinson, and Jacob Zengel
- Voorhees High School – Elisa Boothe, Jamie Christensen, Joseph Furka, Presley Nolf, and Andrew Stein
A letter of commendation from the high school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which conducts the program, will be presented by the high school principals to these scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2023 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2023 competition by taking the 2021 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
