  9/13/2023
  Metairie Park Country Day School is proud to announce that four seniors, Marygrace de la Cruz, Pierce Hatheway, Sarah Heebe, and Cooper Woods, have been named Semifinalists in the annual National Merit Scholarship Program, a national academic competition for recognition and scholarship that began in 1955. Semifinalists are selected based on their excellent PSAT scores. 

  
  

  Over 1.3 million juniors enrolled in 21,000 high schools entered the National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The pool of Semifinalists represents less than one percent of United States high school seniors, representing the highest-scoring entrants in each state. These academically talented students can continue to compete for some 7,140 National Merit Scholarships that will be awarded in the spring. Congratulations to our students!
