Of the 1.5 million entrants in the National Merit Scholarship Program, some 50,000 with the highest PSAT/NMSQT® Selection Index scores from their 11th grade test qualify for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program. In September, these high scorers are notified through their schools that they have qualified as either Commended Students or Semifinalists. The top one-third of the students qualify as Semifinalist for the scholarship competition and the other two-thirds are given Letters of Commendation for their achievement. We are proud to have the following PHS students who are recognized among the 50,000 highest scoring students.

Registration for AP Exams is now open. Please remember this is a two-step process. Students need to register through the College Board and pay through Total Registration. Both steps must be completed for your test to be ordered. Registration closes on November 1, 2021 at 7pm, payment must be submitted by November 5, 2021 at 7pm or the exam will not be ordered.
