Head of School, Matthew Byrnes, recently announced that Sasha Peck has been named a Commended Student in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented to this scholastically talented senior.

"All of us at Wooster School are so proud of Sasha for being named a National Merit Commended Scholar," remarked Adam Kendis, Director of College Guidance. "Sasha is one of the hardest working, most driven, most caring and most humble students at Wooster; she is a leader in our community who is widely respected by her peers and the faculty alike. Congratulations on this deserved recognition, Sasha!"

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2022 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers students who entered the 2022 competition by taking the 2020 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

"Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success."
