At the March 2024 OCBE meeting, the Board recognized our four National Merit Finalists.
Three students from South Oldham High School, Ethan Hutchcraft, Noah Kavorkian, and Sophie Gnadinger; and one student from North Oldham High School, Vaishnavi Pendyala, are 2024 National Merit Finalists.
Each year, about 1.5 million students are entered into consideration in the National Merit Scholarship Program. These students were first chosen as semifinalists based on PSAT/NMSQT scores. Only about 16,000 students — about one-third of the high scorers — are named semifinalists. To ensure that academically talented young people from all parts of the United States are included in this talent pool, semifinalists are designated on a state-representational basis. They are the highest scoring entrants in each state. About 90% of semifinalists attain finalist standing and more than half of finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title. The 2024 National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced later this year.
Our first priority is the safety of our students. This year, there has been increased usage and numerous health emergencies stemming from the use of vapes, especially from those containing illegal drugs. Vaporizers/e-cigarettes come in all different shapes and sizes and can contain tobacco and/or various forms of synthetic cannabinoids.
To deter student use of vapes and the harmful impacts of such, each high school has been equipped with a number of Halo Smart Sensors (click to read more information). These sensors detect the use of vaporizing products and immediately alert administrators in the building via email and text message.
We ask that you speak to your child about the harmful effects of using vapes and review OCBE Policy 9068 regarding the consequences for tobacco and/or drug use. Consequences can range from suspension to full-time placement at the alternative school.
Thank you in advance for partnering with us to protect your child’s health and wellness.
