Bishop Ward High School has announced that juniors Alexis Wilson and Jared Turrel have been named commended students in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program.
Bishop Ward Principal Karen Hopson presented the award to these exceptional students.
“Alexis and Jared have demonstrated outstanding academic success here at Bishop Ward and we are so proud of them,” Hopson said. “We hope that this recognition will help widen their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue toward success.”
Alexis and Jared were two of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2016 competition and are being recognized as part of the 34,000 who are in the top five percent. They entered by taking the 2014 Preliminary SAT-National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT-NMSQT).
