Students recognized by National Merit Scholar Program


Two students from Watkinson School in Hartford have been honored by the National Merit Scholarship program for the PSAT's.  Sumner Alperin-Lee '14 of Glastonbury, has been named as a Commended Student in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program.  In addition, Cyrus Duff '14 of West Hartford, has been named as a Semifinalist in the 2014 Program.  Duff is among 16,000 students who qualify for that distinction this year which represents less than 1% of the nation's high school graduating seniors.   As a semifinalist, Duff now has the opportunity to advance in the competition for Merit Scholarship awards, and the honor of being designated as a National Merit Scholar.

34,000 high performers were named Commended Students — these students place within the 96 percentile of college-bound juniors.  1.5 million students took the 2012 PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test last fall, and Watkinson is pleased to have two students who have been recognized for their outstanding 
performance on the test.

Watkinson School is Hartford's oldest independent day school serving students in grades 6-12/PG.  Watkinson's next open house is October 19th at 1pm.
