Deborah Tracy, Principal of Nazareth Academy, announced yesterday that Matthew O’Hea and Kiley Roache, both of La Grange Park, have been named Commended Scholars in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented to these scholastically talented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2014 competition for NMSC awards, Commended Students placed among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who took the 2012 PSAT.
Upon notifying the recipients, Tracy said, “We are extremely proud of their outstanding accomplishment. These students excel academically and in many other facets of our school mission. We applaud them and their parents for the great ways they represent themselves, their families and Nazareth Academy.”
