Seymour High School Principal Greg Prange recently announced Kayla Baker, Lucas Jablonski and Avery Musgrave have been named commended students in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program.

A letter of commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corp., which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to these scholastically talented seniors.

About 34,000 commended students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

According to a spokesperson for NMSC, those being named commended students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success. They represent a valuable national resource, and 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 the nation.
