Durango High School students recognized by the National Merit Scholarship program

Durango High School and district staff celebrated the successes of eight students recently recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program, which is the most students recognized in a school year for DHS.

About 20% of the student base participated in the 2018 SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Of those, DHS had eight place in the top 50,000 and received a commendation, and Madeleine Burns became a semifinalist to go on to potentially receive a scholarship.

The commended students are: Rebecca Bowers, Clara Galbraith, Anna Klumpenhower, Carson Matz, Irie Sentner, Kaylan Wait and Georgia Witchel.
