WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Three high school students at Mount Greylock Regional School have been commended to the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program.

 

Principal Jacob Schutz will present letters of commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corp., which conducts the program, to Mai Dekal, Leo Slater Lee, and Kayla Miller.

 

About 34,000 commended students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2027 competition for the National Merit Scholarships awards, commended students place 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 name 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."
