“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.”
Scott joins a growing list of WHS students to be honored by the NMSC, which includes 14 finalists and semifinalists.
"I am excited that Logan was recognized nationally by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation," commented WHS Counselor John Harris. "Students and staff at Wahoo High School have long known that Logan is a tremendously talented person. It will be a joy to watch Logan, in the months and years to come, continue to grow as a learner and a leader."
