National Merit Recognition
Based upon their outstanding performance on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) last October, NDCL seniors Justin Satterlee, Emily Callahan, Spencer Jacobson, Elliott Martin, David Opppenlander, Mary Grace Raddell and Sarah Uhran have earned recognition from the National Merit Scholarship Corp.
Justin has been named a National Merit semifinalist – a distinction earned by fewer than 1 percent of all of the high school seniors in the United States. There are approximately 600 semifinalists out of about 144,000 high school seniors in the state of Ohio.
Justin will now compete for finalist status in the National Merit Program by submitting a comprehensive application documenting his academic achievements. Finalists are eligible for scholarships sponsored by the National Merit Program as well as by businesses and colleges throughout the country.
Emily, Spencer, Elliott, David, Mary Grace and Sarah have all been named commended students. They scored among the top 3 percent of more than 1.6 million students nationwide who took the PSAT. While commended students do not continue in the National Merit scholarship process, their elite academic status positions them well for college admission and scholarships offered by individual universities.
Conservation Club Hike
Last week Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School Conservation Club members took advantage of a gorgeous late-summer day with a short after-school hike to explore the ecosystem of the 400-acre Notre Dame campus.
Club members also planted greens in their indoor garden to share with the poor through NDCL’s Labre Ministry with the homeless.
