Senior Eric Ingram was named one of 16,000 national semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship program.

This is a very prestigious honor, and Eric will now move forward to complete the requirements to become a finalist, and hopefully win one of the 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring. Akins is on a winning streak.

The school had a National Merit Scholarship Program finalist last year and expect to see Ingram in that spot this spring.
