Ten Garden City High School students were named Commended Students in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Garden City’s honorees are Grace Dennis, Nicholas Griffin, Grant Lemieux, Joseph Lippens, Eric Marshall, Madeleine McCarthy, Riley McNaboe, Timothy Prybylski, Julia Rosenblatt and Rachel Yeung.

Garden City’s scholars are among the roughly 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation who are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2025 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2025 competition by taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMQST).

The district congratulates the honorees on earning this distinction.
