Our Semifinalists Advance to National Merit Finalist Standing
After meeting rigorous academic, testing, and application requirements, our four Semifinalists have advanced to Finalist standing in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program.
This distinction places them among the nation’s top high school seniors and keeps them in contention for National Merit Scholarships awarded to students with exceptional potential for success in college and beyond.
Congratulations to Maren Besser ’26, Isabel Bringas ’26, Eduardo Pereyó ’26, and Cecilia Rodriguez ’26 on this outstanding achievement. We are proud to celebrate the focus, discipline, and intellectual curiosity that brought them to this moment.
At SJS, academic excellence is the result of a learning environment that challenges, supports, and inspires students to reach their full potential. The kind of preparation that opens doors to top universities and what comes next.
