Rockwall-Heath High School students Isabelle Baumler, Chloe Holliman and Elise Sibley were recently named National Merit Scholarship semifinalists.
More than 1.5 million students across the country took the qualifying test and only 16,000 qualified for this high honor, placing them in the top 1% of all students in the nation.
There are three types of National Merit Scholarships: 2,500 National Merit Scholarships of $2,500, 1,000 corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards and 4,100 college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards from about 180 colleges and universities.
National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced beginning April 2021.
