QHS’s Crist & Peter Qualify for National Merit Scholarship

Quincy Senior High School has proudly announced that two students have earned National Merit Scholarship Finalist status. Both Thatcher Crist and Kylie Peter have received the prestigious honor.  Thatcher and Kylie, two talented high school seniors, finished in the top 5% nationally on the PSAT and SAT. According to the National Merit Scholarship program, they have qualified for one of the 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32 million that will be offered next spring.

The National Merit^® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955.
