Parkland High School recognized 11 National Merit semifinalists and 13 commended students; principal Nate Davidson and the board congratulated students and families during the meeting.
High school principal Nate Davidson presented the school's National Merit results and called forward students and families for recognition. "Please help me in congratulating Parkland High School's 11 national merit scholars," he said, then read the names of semifinalists — Sophie Elijevic, Claire Fang, Jayadeetia Kothari, Tariq Shahid, Swarna Suresh, Adam Vasquez, Annika Vedanthem, Ryan Wu, Alex Zhu, Kevin Yow and Angela Zap — and the commended students.
