Somers High School seniors named National Merit finalists

SOMERS, N.Y. - Somers High School seniors Luke Armstrong and Emma Gordon have been named National Merit Scholarship finalists. 

The two top Tuskers were among the 16,000 semi-finalists named last September from 1.3 million students nationwide who entered the competition in their junior year. The contest is run by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, a not-for-profit organization established in 1955 to honor the country’s academic leaders who exemplify excellence in scholarship. High school juniors enter by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The list of semifinalists showcases the highest-scoring students in each state. Of those, 15,000 are named finalists in February.

Winners will be announced from April through July.
