Division Avenue High School is proud to recognize the outstanding academic achievements of several of our students in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Nish Keer has been named a National Merit Semifinalist, an honor awarded to less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors each year. Semifinalist status is based on exceptional performance on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) taken during junior year.

In addition, Ashley Agatep and Daniel Smith have been recognized as Commended Students in the 2026 program. Commended Students rank among the top 2?3% of test-takers nationally, based on their PSAT/NMSQT scores and standardized Selection Index scores.

We are incredibly proud of Nish, Ashley, and Daniel for their dedication and academic excellence.
