Current in Noblesville

Several Noblesville High school seniors and members of the 2010 graduating class have earned National Merit Scholarship and AP Scholar Awards.

Two Noblesville High School seniors – Jordan Burton and Alexandra McIntire – have been named semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.5 million entrants each year – and by meeting published program entry/participation requirements. Students whose scores are among the top 16,000 are named semi-finalists.

In addition, six Noblesville High School seniors have been named National Merit Commended Students and have received Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Those students are Jakob Boxberger, Reece Clark, Rachel Fox, Megan Foley, Crystal Matt, and Chase Smith. Their scores were among the top 50,000 on the test.

Seven Noblesville High School seniors and 41 members of the Class of 2010 earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP Exams.

The AP College Board’s Advanced Placement program (AP) provides students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school and to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams.

About 18 percent of the more than 1.8 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams.

At NHS, 11 members of the Class of 2010 qualified for the AP Scholars with Distinction Award.

Three current seniors and 11 2010 graduates qualified for the AP Scholars with Honor Award. This award is given to students who earn an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.

Johnson, Michael Newman, Heather Stephens, Morganne Walker, and Benjamin Williams.
