St. Pius X Seniors Recognized in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program

We are proud to announce that four outstanding St. Pius X seniors have been recognized for their academic excellence through the prestigious National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSP). This annual academic competition, administered by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), highlights high-achieving high school students and offers significant college scholarship opportunities.

Our Semi-Finalists:

Congratulations to Elias Braun, Liam Chavez, and Lucas Sanchez, who have been named Semi-Finalists in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. These students now have the exciting opportunity to advance in the competition, where they will compete for a chance to earn National Merit Scholarships. Their achievement is a reflection of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to academic excellence.

Commended Student:

We also proudly recognize Jacqueline Cattaneo, who received the National Merit Scholarship Program Letter of Commendation. This honor is awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional academic promise based on their PSAT/NMSQT performance. Jacqueline's outstanding performance places her among the top students in the nation, and we commend her for her impressive achievement.

The National Merit Scholarship Program can have a lasting impact on students’ futures, with the NMSC awarding approximately $50 million in scholarships each year. Many colleges also offer significant financial incentives, including reduced or free tuition, to recognized students.

At St. Pius X, we are incredibly proud of these four students, whose accomplishments exemplify the spirit of academic excellence we strive to cultivate. We wish Elias, Liam, Lucas, and Jacqueline the best of luck as they continue their journey in this prestigious competition.
