Greenhill Seniors Honored by National Merit Scholarship Program and College Board
Greenhill School proudly announces that the National Merit Scholarship Program has recognized nearly 30% of Greenhill’s senior class. This year, eight seniors qualified as Semifinalists and 27 students reached Commended status. The program recognizes students that have demonstrated exceptional academic promise based on 2014 PSAT scores. To reach Semifinalist status, students must have scored in the top one half of one percent of the 1.5 million students taking the PSAT last school year.
Two seniors, Justin Estrada and Kevin Gonzalez, also received recognition as a part of the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program. These two students were among the top scorers of the 250,000 Hispanic/Latino juniors who took the test.

Note: Comparing schools based on the number of Semifinalists and Commended students offers a limited view of the educational experience. The National Merit Scholarship Program serves as a gauge of potential success in a college environment, but does not measure the quality of a school’s educational program.
