“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
“On behalf of the Wahoo Public Schools administration, it is my privilege to recognize Katelyn Urban for being listed as a Commended Student in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program,” Golladay stated. “Katelyn is a role model for others both in and out of the classroom. Wahoo High School is fortunate to have Katelyn as a student and leader, and we wish her nothing but success as she continues her education after graduation."
Congratulations Katelyn on receiving this honor!
