As Principal of Valencia High School, I'm honored to announce that an additional 22 VHS seniors were named National Merit Commended Scholars. These students include Neil Shah , Neera Patel, Lisa Jian, Mark Walker, Richard Gleiser, Nikhil Shah, Alexandra Guerrero, Jeremiah Sahabu, Angeline Nam, Harrison Hsueh, Christian Hong, Ryan McLaughlin, Tanvi Mamtora, Ryan Borden, Anna Nguyen, Kwang-Tao Chou, Andrea Bae, Michelle Nguyen, Nadaa Kenanga, Jessica Hu, Iffathul Shjariff, and William Fletes.
To qualify as a National Merit Semifinalist, a student must score at least 223 out of a maximum score of 240 on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test in October of their junior year. National Merit Commended Scholars must score at least 203. Historically, both 223 and 203 are the highest calibration for qualifying scores.
