Northport's National Merit Finalists Recognized

Congratulations to Northport High School students Adam Chang and Jake Miller, as each student has been named a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship Competition.

Finalists in the competition are eligible for the prestigious National Merit Scholarship, as well as college, corporate and state scholarships. Finalists were selected from a previous group of semifinalists in the competition. Winners will be announced in late March.

Semifinalists represented the top one-third of 50,000 high scorers who took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Students are ranked with a selection index score based on their combined scores in math, critical reading and writing.

The district congratulates Adam and Jake and wishes them the best of luck in the next round.
