ADAM WILLIAMS - 2016 NATIONAL MERIT FINALIST
Each year, about 1.5 million students take the PSAT. Of these juniors, about 16,000 gain scores that qualify them as Semifinalists (that's a little more than 1%). This group is then narrowed down to determine who become Finalists, and BHS senior, Adam Williams made the cut!!! We are so excited for Adam! He now qualifies for the chance to win one of about 8,000 National Merit scholarships. Congratulations Adam, what an incredible honor and accomplishment!! #BuckPride
