Congratulations to Shoreham-Wading River High School senior Daniel Julian who has advanced to Finalist standing in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Daniel took the qualifying test as a junior and is now among approximately 15,000 high school students nationwide who were awarded the distinction. In the next several months, approximately half of those students will be selected to receive a Merit Scholarship award, which is based on their abilities, skills and accomplishments.

Daniel’s Finalist designation exemplifies the district’s high level of student achievement and academically rigorous program for all students. National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced in the spring.
