A record high number of Wayzata High School
students were named Semifinalists in the 2022 National
Merit Scholarship Program. Congratulations to the
following 35 WHS seniors for being named among only
16,000 semifinalists from across the country.
High school juniors entered the 2022 National Merit
Scholarship Program by taking the 2020 Preliminary
SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which
served as an initial screen of program entrants. The
nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than
one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the
highest-scoring entrants in each state.
