The principal, Kent Lemons,
of Holliday High School an-
nounced today that Christian
Schrandt, Jeffery Mitchell, Regan
Murchison, Angela Cuba, and
Chelsea Humphrey have been
named as Commended Students in

dation from the school and National

gram, will be presented by the prin-
cipal to these scholastically tal-
ented seniors.
About 34,000 Commended
Students throughout the nation are
being recognized for their excep-
tional academic promise. Although
they will not continue in the 2006
competition for Merit Scholarship®
awards, Commended Students
placed among the top five percent
of more than one million students
who entered the 2006 competition
by taking the Preliminary SAT/Na-
tional Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test. (PSAT/NMSQT).
A spokesperson for the
National Merit Program com-
mented, “It is important to acknowl-
edge the attainments of academi-
cally talented students and to credit
schools for the key role they play
in their development. We hope the
recognition received by these able
young men and women who are
commended in this rigorous, na-
tionwide competition will encour-
age them to take advantage of op-
portunities for higher education
and to diligently pursue their pro-
fessional goals.”
