Several Paul D. Schreiber High School students have been recognized as finalists in the 2015 National Merit Scholarship Competition.

Students Michael Colonna, Andrew Costenoble, Samuel Goldman, Evan Kaminsky, Elizabeth Muratore, Crystal Ren, Wyndham-John Stopford and Christopher Wilson were named finalists. 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.

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.
