Two high-achieving Bellefontaine High School seniors were recognized at an otherwise routine Monday evening Bellefontaine City Schools board of education meeting for awards received through the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Alex Seaford is continuing in the program after being named one of approximately 16,000 National Merit semifinalists in the country during September, as previously reported in the Examiner.
Fellow BHS student Nick Kurtz has been named a Commended Student in the National Merit Scholarship program, an honor presented to about 34,000 students in the U.S. He placed among the top 5 percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the program by taking the 2015 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
“We’re so proud of both Alex and Nick, and congratulate them and their families for all their hard work,” guidance counselor Angie Haver said. “Both scored very high on the tests, and in fact, Nick was just a few points away from the cut-off score for the semifinalists in Ohio.”
