WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. From Michele Schoenfeld. February 21, 2012:
Eight White Plains High School seniors have been named 2012 National Merit Scholarship Finalists. Matthew Africano, Aneesh Bhattacharya, Emmett Caruso, Isabelle Daly, Adam Jaffe, Jens Sannerud, Eric Smiley and Benjamin Van Doren are among the 15,000 Finalists nationwide, selected from 1.5 million entrants. They are now eligible to earn one of the 8,400 National Merit Scholarships which are valued at more than $36 million.
Selected as Commended Students were Shaina Brady, Rong-Si Deng, Rachel Eddy, Jordan Grobe, Alyssa Habermann, Michael Lau, Khalilah Lushiku and William Tunney.
In the National Achievement Scholarship Program, which provides recognition for outstanding Black American high school students, Khalilah Lushiku and Cheyenne Vlymen-Williams are Finalists and Ty Matsushita was named Outstanding Participant.
Three students were named National Hispanic Recognition Scholars: Matthew Africano, Selina Thompson and Ana Velasquez. John Medelius received Honorable Mention.
