MADISON — Triumph and pride radiate through Madison High School as ten students are honored with the title of “Commended Students” in the prestigious 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program. These remarkable students—Charlotte Burrow, Samuel Cohen, Hendrix Farrell, Kelsey Greer, Jonathan Lu, William Marinovic, Daphne Rodas, Arman Tektas, Deniz Tektas, and Faiz Yasin—are now part of an elite group of approximately 34,000 Commended Students from across the nation, all recognized for their extraordinary academic prowess and potential.
These commendations bring to light the exceptional caliber of students at Madison High School, highlighting their commitment to academic excellence and their pursuit of knowledge. The journey doesn’t end here, though, as the school also takes pride in announcing Tom Yao as a standout semifinalist in the program, standing tall among 16,000 semifinalists nationwide. The future seems bright for Tom, as around 95 percent of semifinalists are predicted to reach the finalist stage, with about half of them ultimately securing National Merit Scholarships and the esteemed Merit Scholar title.
This recognition isn’t just an individual accomplishment, but a testament to the dedication, resilience, and hard work of each student and the supportive, enriching environment provided by Madison High School.
Congratulations to all the recognized students for their remarkable achievements and for elevating the academic reputation of Madison High School.
