Big news for our Saint Thomas Aquinas community!
We are thrilled to announce that Alex Henderson, ’26, has been named a National Merit Semifinalist!
This recognition places Alex in the top 1% of 1.5 million students nationwide who entered the National Merit® Scholarship Program. Students who take the PSAT in the fall of their junior year are entered into the National Merit Scholarship program. Students earn recognition based upon their scores.
This achievement is a reflection of Alex’s God-given gifts, his diligence in pursuit of knowledge and the dedication of the many teachers who have impacted his learning.
Congratulations, Alex - we are so proud of you! Moments like these highlight the spirit, excellence, and unity that make Saint Thomas Aquinas so special.
It’s truly a GREAT day to be a Saint.
