A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®) has been presented to one of our scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

“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.”
A member of the championship-caliber Golf team at Stang, William hopes to pursue a business degree in college and continue on to law school. “Everyone is so proud of William for his outstanding presence at Bishop Stang… Academically, athletically, and above all personally, he is a strong member of our community.”
