The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) named Woodlands Christian seniors, Merritt Ruffner and Joshua Mueck, as Semifinalists in the 66th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Ruffner and Mueck stand in the company of 16,000 Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of all U.S. high school seniors. 

Catherine Berger, Tucker Carson, Preston Culberson and Aubrey Hollas have been named Commended Students in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program. Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers. Over 1.5 million juniors across the country took the Preliminary SAT (PSAT), which is the exam used to screen for the National Merit Scholarship.

These academic honors distinguish our students on their college applications and set them apart as academically exceptional. College Advisor, Mrs. Rowe expressed excitement over the students’ achievements, “We are so incredibly proud of the dedication and perseverance of our students. They have such incredibly bright futures and serve as excellent examples of academic diligence to our entire student body.”
