Lockport Township High School District 205 honors Eagle Scout, National Merit finalists and dozens of high-achieving students
Summary
At its March 16 meeting the school board recognized sophomore Logan Martin for earning Eagle Scout status, named two National Merit Scholarship finalists and read resolutions honoring dozens of PREAC rising and distinguished scholars from District 205.
The Lockport Township High School District 205 Board of Education opened its March 16 meeting by honoring students who earned state- and national-level recognition. Superintendent Bob McBride introduced the acknowledgments and said the board wanted to "press the pause button and acknowledge these young people."
Dr. Jacqueline Johnson, principal of East Campus, read a resolution honoring Logan Martin, a sophomore who achieved Eagle Scout rank after leading a service project that provided duffel bags filled with essentials to foster children and a local family. The board adopted the resolution recognizing Martin’s service.
The board also passed resolutions recognizing Julianne M. Carowway and Gabriella Kazerki as finalists in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program. Dr. Johnson noted the scale of the competition—more than 1.3 million juniors took the qualifying test—and that finalists represent a very small share of that field.
Dr. Carrie Green, Central Campus principal, then announced two long lists of PREAC rising-star and distinguished scholars—students who scored in national percentiles that place them in the top roughly 4–10% (rising scholars) or the top 3% (distinguished scholars). She described the photo and recognition logistics and read the resolution that the board will include in the official minutes recognizing those students.
Board members repeatedly applauded the students and their families and thanked teachers and staff who supported them. The board then moved to accept the package of recognition resolutions and approved the motion on roll call.
The meeting proceeded with regular business after the recognitions; administrators said parents and students were invited to take photos at backdrops after the program.
