Seniors Named National Merit Semifinalists
Twenty Marksmen from the Class of 2027 have been recognized as semifinalists in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. This distinction places these young men among the top 1% of high school students nationwide. Out of more than 1.3 million entrants across 19,000 U.S. high schools, only 16,000 students advanced to semifinalist standing based on their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT from the prior school year.
Congratulations to the following St. Mark’s seniors who have been named semifinalists: Guru Aroul, Wyatt Auer, Shiv Bhandari, Michael Chang, Tyson Diep, James Dunlap, Julian Gerstle, Zach Golle, James Hoak, Christopher Huang, Nicholas Huang, Leo Hughes, Rishik Kapoor, Max Lee, Wyatt Melvin, Kiran Parikh, Jack Shepro, Rahul Subramaniam, Nathan Tan, and Mihir Tare.
“The College Board has recognized these students for their outstanding academic achievement, reflecting their strong performance and continued commitment to their studies,” said Veronica Guzman Pulido, Al G. Hill, Jr. ’63 Director of College Counseling. “We are proud to celebrate these Marksmen and their accomplishments. They continue to represent themselves, their families, and St. Mark’s School of Texas with distinction, and we congratulate them on this well-deserved recognition.”
