Principal, Rhonda Andrews, of Genoa-Kingston High School announced last night that Charlie Hansen has been named a Commended Student in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. A letter of Commendation from GKHS and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented by Ms. Andrews to Charlie during a reception held in his honor before the GK School District Board Meeting.
Charlie is one 50,000 students (the top 1.4%) who were named a Commended Student out of 3.4 million who took the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). “This is a great academic achievement and we applaud Charlie for receiving this recognition,” said Andrews.
“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 in 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.”
