The Unionville High School Class of 2025 has already earned an impressive achievement. A record number of seniors earned the coveted recognition from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation—in total, 55 seniors earned National Merit recognition. That’s a record number for Unionville High School, and a number that few high schools ever match. Among the top four percent of seniors nationwide, 31 Longhorns have qualified as Commended Students. Among the top one percent of seniors nationwide, an additional 24 Longhorns have been selected as Merit Semifinalists.

For the Semifinalists to advance further in the competition, the students must now submit a detailed scholarship application, including an essay, academic achievements, participation in school and community activities, and any honors and awards they have received. National Merit Scholarships will be awarded in the spring of 2025, with winners announced beginning in April. Kudos to the students. The Unionville-Chadds Ford community should be very proud of the impressive accomplishment.
