This announcement brings Fulton’s total to 61 National Merit Scholars in the 2012 competition. Earlier in the school year, five students also were named National Achievement Scholars, a similar academic competition hosted by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. for African-American high school students.
All of the students were first identified through exceptionally high scores on the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which they took as juniors. They had a record of high academic performance, were endorsed and recommended by their school principal, and had earned high SAT scores confirming their earlier qualifying test performance.
