Catholic High School administrators are proud to announce that 11 CHS students have been named National Merit Scholarship Finalists for 2023. CHS seniors Bennett Castro, Ryan Cedel, William Creech, Everett deBlieux, Peyton LeBlanc, Edward "Carter' Mayeux, André Miller, Kyle Oubre, Joseph Peak, Sidney Scheumack, and Nicholas Schroeder will continue on in the competition for more than 7,200 scholarships worth nearly $28 million. 

To be considered as a National Merit Finalist, students must submit a detailed application including information about their academic records, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, honors, and awards. Semifinalists must also be endorsed by a school official, write an essay, and have outstanding grades throughout high school. 

Congratulations, gentlemen!
