Hanford & Richland High Students Recognized By National Merit Scholarship Program
Join the district in congratulating our high school students named National Merit Semifinalists and Commended Students for 2021.
Richland High School seniors Nicholas Chang and Johnnie Norsworthy and Hanford High School seniors Hannah Chavla and Cassandra Lam earned the recognition by being among the highest scorers on the PSAT in the state and among the top 1 percent of those who took the test in their class.
All have big plans for their futures and now wait to see if they are named Finalists later this year and eligible for a National Merit scholarship.
