Logan Boasts 3 National Merit Scholarship Finalists

By -

Today’s James Logan announced 3 students had become National Merit Scholarship Finalists. That’s pretty impressive. The National Merit Scholarship Program, which started in 1955, attracts approximately 1.4 million entrants each year; fewer than 16,000 become finalists.
