CHS Recognizes 55 National Merit Semifinalists

Congratulations to the following 55 Carmel High School seniors named 2024 National Merit Semifinalists. The students are now eligible to complete the National Merit Scholarship Application to qualify as a finalist and compete for $30 million in scholarships.

Carmel High School consistently maintains more than 50 students recognized as National Merit Semifinalists. CHS recognized 56 National Merit Semifinalists in 2022 and 2023. To help put the collective accomplishments of these CHS students in perspective, there are 10 states with less than 60 total National Merit Semifinalists. In Indiana, about one in six honorees come from Carmel High School. We are extremely proud of the individual and school-wide accomplishments of our students and staff.

The National Merit Scholarship Program selects entrants based on abilities, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies. Please join us in celebrating:
