Four Waukee High School seniors have been named finalists in the 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) mailed Certificates of Merit to principals across the country, notifying them of the students who have advanced to Finalist standing in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program. Architha Bommena, Madeline Hakala, Christopher King, and Emma Shepard are among approximately 15,000 academically talented high school seniors who met all requirements to advance to finalist standing in the competition. All finalists will be considered for National Merit Scholarships to be offered in 2020.

Congratulations to Architha, Madeline, Christopher and Emma on receiving this academic honor!
