COMMENDED STUDENTS IN THE 2027 NATIONAL MERIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The principal, Penny Stires, of London High School, announced today that Sydney Powell has been named a Commended Student in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2027 competition by taking the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play int their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
As our nation observes the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, London City Schools joins our community in remembering the 2,977 innocent lives lost that day:
2,753 people in New York City
184 people at the Pentagon
40 passengers and crew members aboard Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania
Beginning today, our staff and students will begin placing 2,977 American flags—one representing each life lost—in preparation for tomorrow’s observance. The flags will be displayed across the front grounds of the London High School and London Elementary School campuses, while a similar tribute will take place on the London Middle School grounds.
The flags will remain in place through Friday, September 18, as a visible reminder of those who lost their lives, the families forever affected, and the first responders and ordinary citizens who demonstrated extraordinary courage.
We invite our students, families, staff, and community members to pause, reflect, and remember. May we continue to honor their lives through unity, service, and care for one another.
We will never forget.
Tonight's meeting of the Board has been moved to London Elementary room #232. Enter through the front door of the elementary and follow the signs to go upstairs.
