Congratulations to Cathedral’s National Merit Semifinalists, Reece Bonhomme ‘25 (pictured far right), Briar Keehn ‘25 (pictured second from left, and Emily Pohl ‘25 (pictured far left). More than 1.5 million juniors entered the National Merit Scholarship Program last year by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors and includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.

Before enrolling at Cathedral, Reece was homeschooled and is a St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church parishioner. Briar graduated from St. Jude Catholic School and is a St. Jude Catholic Church parishioner. Emily is a St. Simon the Apostle Catholic School graduate and a St. Simon the Apostle Parish member. Congratulations to our scholars who answered the call to greatness! Cathedral is very proud of you
