April School Board Recognition 2017

Ten outstanding CHS seniors were recognized for their academic achievements at the April School Board meeting.

National Merit Finalists

The Cabot School District is proud to recognize our 10 National Merit Finalists for the 2016-2017 school year. 

The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter this program by taking the Preliminary SAT and by achieving a particular score on the exam. According to nationalmerit.org, of the 1.5 million entrants, some 50,000 with the highest PSAT/NMSQT® Selection Index scores (critical reading + mathematics + writing skills scores) qualify for recognition in the National Merit® Scholarship Program.

Congratulations to these outstanding students:
