The National Merit Scholarship Corporation announced July 10 that seven recent Fulton County graduates have been named National Merit Scholars. In addition to the prestigious National Merit Scholar distinction, these students earned National Merit scholarships from participating colleges.

 

Evan Milano – Centennial High School

Hibisca Liaw – Chattahoochee High School

Alamgir Syed – Chattahoochee High School

Scott Berger – North Springs High School

Zachary Hennessee – North Springs High School

Abhinav Bhatnagar – Northview High School

John Cogdell – Roswell High School

 

This announcement brings Fulton’s total to 35 National Merit Scholars in the 2006 competition. Eleven students also were named National Achievement Scholars, a similar academic competition for African-American high school students, earlier in the school year.

 

All of the students first were identified through exceptionally high scores on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which they took as juniors last school year. They have a record of high academic performance, are endorsed and recommended by their school principal, and have earned high SAT scores that confirm their earlier qualifying test performance.
