Three Rockets named National Merit Finalists

Three Rockets named National Merit Finalists

All three seniors who were announced as National Merit Semifinalists in September have advanced to Finalist standing.

Congratulations to our National Merit Finalists Ethan Koran, Erin McManus, and Jason Munzel!

“Three finalists in a school our size is impressive,” Principal David Mueller said. “We are grateful for the hard work of these students and of their teachers and mentors who have guided them along the way.”

As finalists, they will be considered for scholarships offered in spring of 2022. Approximately 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $30 million are given annually across the nation.

“We are proud of Ethan, Erin, and Jason and congratulate them and their families on this tremendous honor,” Principal Mueller said. “At McNicholas, we strive to help each student discover his or her God-given brilliance; we are so proud of these three scholars whose hard work has allowed their talents to shine.”

    Some of life's greatest lessons cannot be found in a textbook. They are discovered standing beneath the ancient arches of the Colosseum, gazing up at masterpieces in Vatican City, or watching the sun set along the Seine River. This spring, 43 McNicholas students experienced those moments firsthand, returning home with a deeper appreciation for art, history, culture, and the world around them.

    A Friendship Without Borders: McNicholas Celebrates Its First Sister School Exchange with Argentina

    Nine McNicholas students traveled to Buenos Aires this summer for the school's first Sister School Exchange with Instituto Nuestra Señora de Las Nieves, building on friendships formed when Argentine students visited McNicholas earlier this year. Through living with host families, attending classes, and experiencing Argentina's rich culture and history, students discovered that the most meaningful lessons come from stepping beyond their comfort zones and embracing connections that transcend borders.
