Thanks to Duchesne High School for sharing the following good news about three of their seniors who’ve received recognition by the National Merit Scholars program. All of them are graduates of the Academy Class of 2012.
“Will Fairless and Joe Phillips were each recently awarded $2500 National Merit Scholarships to the schools of their choosing. Erin Hannegan McKee was named as a commended student by the National Merit Scholars program in recognition of her Preliminary SAT (PSAT) scores and her continuing academic promise.
One and a half million U.S. high school students entered into the competition for National Merit Scholarships. Fairless and Phillips are among the .033 percent of students awarded the prize, based on their academic records, two sets of test scores, written recommendations, activities and leadership, and an essay. Fairless will be applying his scholarship toward tuition at Auburn University; Phillips will be using his scholarship at either Loyola University of Chicago or at the University of Oklahoma.”
Congratulations to Joe, Will and Erin on their academic achievement!
