National Merit Scholarship Competition commends seniors

The 2012 National Merit Scholarship program has named seniors Tyler Young and Janae Robinson commended students for their performance on the PSAT administered their junior year.

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation uses the screen index or the sum of all scores within each section of the test, from 1.5 million test takers a year to choose the students who meets the program requirements.

Young and Robinson were two of approximately 34,000 students selected from the 50,000 high scorers to receive letters of commendation for their outstanding academic promise.

“We are very proud of both students for their dedication and hard work,” Principal Tim Gilliland said.

Hello everyone! My name is Jayden Beatty, and I am a senior at Canyon High. I am the associate editor of the Eagles Tale this year! This is my third year on staff and I am excited to bring the students of Canyon High another year of awesome news coverage. Outside of newspaper I am the president of the Canyon High Speech and Debate team, and I am involved in several organizations such as NHS, Key Club, and HOSA. After graduation my plan is to attend college with a degree in political science and a minor in foreign policy. My ultimate goal is to one day be working in the Department of State building in Washington D.C. In my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends! My favorite activities are reading (usually Harry Potter) and watching movies (again usually Harry Potter). As my last year at Canyon High, I hope to make this one a great one! Thanks for reading everyone!
