POBJFK students Sunny Zheng, Robert Adelson, Amelia Ricketts and Adrian Kim were recognized as National Merit Semi-Finalists for their outstanding performance on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying (PSAT/NMSQT) Exam. In order to earn this esteemed title, these four students had to score in the top third of 50,000 students nationwide who qualified for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship program.
