Congratulations to four students from Hume-Fogg and MLK for winning the National Achievement Scholarship!
This honor is given by the same people who give the National Merit Scholarship. African American students across the country earn it based on P-SAT and SAT scores, high academic performance, an essay and a recommendation. Only 800 of them were given out across the country this year.
We are very proud of these students!
