national merit commended

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD is proud to announce that 49 students of the Class of 2023 have earned the National Merit Commended designation.

Selection is based on the students' scores on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). With this achievement, some of these students will become eligible for special scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.

GCISD has now had 274 students earn National Merit Commended status in the last seven years. That is in addition to the 120 students that have earned National Merit Semifinalist honors over that time period.

All of these students are part of an elite group representing fewer than one percent of U.S. high school seniors who show exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies.

Congratulations to this year’s National Merit Commended students:
