SEYMOUR - Seymour High School Principal James Freund announced Friday that senior Gurman Singh has been named a "Commended Student" in the 2017 National Merit Scholarship Program.
A Letter of Commendation from Seymour High School and the National Merit Scholarship Corp., which conducts the program, will be presented by Freund to this scholastically talented senior.
About 34,000 "Commended Students" throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.
"Commended Students" placed among the top 5 percent of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2017 competition by taking a 2015 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“The young men and women being named "Commended Students" have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” a spokesperson for NMSC said.
“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.”
Freund said, "We are very proud of Gurman's accomplishments; his future is very bright. I can't wait to see where it will lead him."
This is a press release from Rich Kearns, Seymour Public Schools' Director of Security.
