Seniors placed among the top 50,000 students out of more than 1.5 million who entered the competition this round.

Kimberly Anderson, the principal of Notre Dame Prep's upper school, announced today that four seniors have been named Commended Students in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented to these academically talented seniors.

Notre Dame Prep seniors Joseph Joulakh, Benjamin Keenan, Bradon Prater and Beck Silver placed among the top 50,000 students out of more than 1.5 million who entered the 2024 competition by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). The NMSC identifies the 50,000 highest scorers and about 34,000 students are named Commended Students for their high scores.
 
"The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," said a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."
