CCSD Seniors Named National Merit Commended Students

Thirteen Cherokee County School District high school seniors have been named National Merit Commended Students by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation!  

The seniors are among the only 2 to 3% of the Class of 2026 honored nationwide with the recognition, which is based on outstanding PSAT scores, and CCSD’s total increased from eight honorees last year.  They now are eligible for special National Merit scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses that will be awarded in the spring.  Thank you to our School Board for its laser focus on ensuring our students are learning more, growing more, and achieving more in our classrooms than they could anywhere else!
