Posted on 12/12/2024

Hicksville High School students Evan Chun, Om Doshi, Alyssa Garger and Aashritha Kilambi were named Commended Students as part of the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program.  

Commended Students are identified based on their Preliminary SAT scores. They placed among the top 50,000 of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2025 competition by taking the exam, which serves as the National Merit Scholarship qualifying test.  The three Long Beach seniors are part of a select group being recognized nationally for this exceptional academic accomplishment. 

In addition to exhibiting academic excellence, the three seniors also participate in a range of programs, organizations and activities both in and outside of school.  

The district congratulates Evan, Om, Alyssa and Aashritha on this outstanding achievement and wishes them continued success.
