Mineola High School senior Katie Y. Shi has been named a Commended Student in the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Approximately 34,000 students throughout the nation receive this honor, which is based upon the exceptional academic promise they demonstrated on the qualifying test used for program entry. Although she will not continue in the 2016 competition, Shi placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the competition by taking the PSAT.
