Senior Named Semifinalist In 2007 National Merit Scholarship Program
Semifinalists named in the 2007 National Merit Scholarship Program were announced on Wednesday, Sept 13th. Johnstown High School is proud to announce that senior Victoria Julius is a semifinalist. During her junior year, Victoria took the 2005 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants.

Victoria will now have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,200 Merit Scholarship awards, worth $33 million, that will be offered next spring. To become a Finalist, a Semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by the school principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student's earlier qualifying test performance.
