National Merit Recognition
Chagrin Falls High School students Mary Margaret Demangone and Olivia Perotti have been named National Merit Commended Students by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. More than two-thirds (about 34,000) of the approximately 50,000 high scorers on the PSAT/NMSQT receive letters of commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise.
Commended students are named on the basis of a nationally applied Selection Index score that may vary from year to year and is typically below the level required for participants to be named semifinalists in their respective states. Although commended students do not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships, some of these students do become candidates for special scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
