SJM Senior Catherine Gleason has been named a Commended Student in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program. Commended students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2021 competition by taking the 2019 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

''Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for NMSC. ''These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success." 

"I am so honored to be recognized as a commended scholar, but more than anything, I am exceedingly grateful to everyone who has helped me on my educational journey," said Catherine. "I would not be the student I am today without the guidance and encouragement of my teachers and counselors and the love and support of my family."
