National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists

The prestigious National Merit Scholarship Program announced this week that four Seniors at Largo High School were selected as semifinalists based on their scores on the PSAT, a standardized test administered their junior year. Three of the semifinalists are in the Largo International Baccalaureate Program. The semifinalists will continue in the pursuit of a Merit Scholarship award and the Merit Scholar title. The Junior Class of 2021 will be taking their qualifying PSAT/NMSQT on October 16th.
