At Monday’s meeting of the Marshall County School Board, Director Jacob Sorrells congratulated Jesse England, a senior at Cornersville High School, on his recognition as a National Merit Scholarship semi-finalist.
More than 1.6 million students entered the program in 2017 by taking the Preliminary SAT exam during their junior year.
Approximately 16,000, less than one percent of exam takers, earned a score high enough to rank them as semi-finalists.
