Ben Sackett has been named a National Merit Semifinalist, an achievement that reflects years of hard work, curiosity and academic commitment.

The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,930 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million that will be offered next spring. To compete for National Merit Scholarships, Semifinalists must advance to the Finalist level of the competition by fulfilling several additional requirements.

We are so proud of Ben and excited for this recognition of his hard work!
