Canton High School is pleased to announce that seven (7) CHS seniors have been named Commended Students in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship Program. Commended Students placed in the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2016 program by taking the 2014 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

The following seniors received this recognition this month and will be honored at the CHS Scholastic Honors Night in May: Rigel Galgana, Isabel Johnson, Brendan Mullaley, Ngoc-Tran Nguyen, Lucas Phan, Courtland Priest and Catherine Song.

These CHS students exemplify our values of academic excellence and continuous improvement.

They are terrific students and great representatives our school community.
