Clarke High School Student Named Finalist in the National Achievement Scholarship Program
The East Meadow Union Free School District is pleased to announce that Norman Mathews, a senior at W.T. Clarke High School, has been recognized as a Semifinalist in the National Achievement Scholarship Program.
The National Achievement Scholarship Program is an academic competition established in 1964 to provided recognition for outstanding Black American high school students.
Approximately 1,600 high-scoring participants in each year’s National Achievement Scholarship Program are designated Semifinalists. To ensure that academically talented Black American students throughout the nation are included in the pool, Semifinalists are named on a regional representation basis. They are the highest-scoring program participants in the states that constitute each region.
As a Semifinalist named in the fall of 2010, Norman now has the opportunity to advance to Finalist standing so he can be considered for an Achievement Scholarship award to be offered in 2011.
Congratulations and best of luck to Norman in the next round of the program!
