Nineteen UHS seniors have been named National Merit Semi-Finalists.  Principal Massanari mentioned at the board meeting that there were 13 students last year and that was a record, so this number is pretty astonishing.

Also at the board meeting, Vic Dupuis mentioned that Patton Middle School has been an area of focus over the past few years with changes in curriculum, structure and a new principal - and that these types of outcomes are directly related to the preparation our students received in the lower grades.

This is the largest group of UHS students to receive this recognition. These talented students

scored in the top 1% in the country on their 11th grade PSAT (Preliminary SAT). To give a context to our students' scores, 5.5% of UHS students taking the PSAT in October 2013 scored in the top 1% in the country.

 Congratulations Semi-Finalists
