We are #ParkHillProud of our seven National Merit Semifinalists. Congratulations to Park Hill High School's Tristan Erickson and Collin Peterson and Park Hill South's Gavin Fritts, Zach Hilzinger, Weston Peters, Alex Smith and Avery Swanson. Of the 1.3 million students who entered the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship program, only 16,000 (or less than one percent of high school seniors) were chosen as Semifinalists. Our students now have the chance to compete for around 6,870 National Merit Scholarships, totaling nearly $26 million, to be awarded in the spring.
