Two Northwest Catholic Students Recognized by National Achievement Scholarship Program
Two Northwest Catholic High School seniors have been recognized as Outstanding Participants in the National Achievement Scholarship Program, based on their exceptional performance on the PSAT/NMSQTs they took in October 2012, when they were juniors.
Anthony Laureno ’14 of East Granby and Simone Smith ’14 of West Hartford are among the top 3 percent of more than 160,000 Black Americans who requested consideration in the 2014 National Achievement Program when they took the PSAT/NMSQT last year.
Northwest Catholic previously announced that one student from the Class of 2014, Thienly Nguyen of Windsor, has been named a National Merit Semifinalist – among the top 1% highest scoring students of the more than 1.5 million students who took the exam. Another four students were named National Merit Commended Students – among the 5% highest-scoring students who took the exam.

“We are very proud of Anthony and Simone and wish them all the best in the college application process” said Principal Margaret Williamson.
Since 1961, Northwest Catholic’s mission has been to educate the whole person: mind, body, spirit, and soul. Enrollment for the Class of ’18 is now under way, and prospective students are invited to the Open House at Northwest Catholic on November 3, 2013.
