Shannon '07 named National Achievement Scholar
Director of College Counseling Paul Horgan announced Monday that Shannon '07 has been selected as the winner of a National Achievement Scholarship, awarded by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
Shannon competed against more than 140,000 students who took the 2005 PSAT/NMSQT and requested consideration for the 2007 National Achievement Scholarship Program, a privately financed academic competition established in 1964 specifically to honor scholastically talented Black American youth.

Of those 140,000 students, approximately 1,600 were named semifinalists last September. Shannon then completed a rigorous application process to advance to the finalist stage, along with about 1,300 others nationwide.
