ORHS National Merit Semifinalists

Big picture

Two Oak Ridge High School seniors have been named as Semifinalists in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program. Over 1.3 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.


Congratulations to Rohan Balla and Morgan Glennie on being named Semifinalists in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program.
