Wow! Record number of Mason students earn National Merit honor

Mason City Schools has set a new district record for the number of National Merit Semifinalists.

Mason High School had 39 of its students recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Competition for 2018.

“We’re extremely proud of these Class of 2018 students who will go down in school history for having the most national merit semifinalists of any of our classes,” said Mason High School Principal Dave Hyatt.

“We’ve already seen these students making an impact on their teachers and classmates, and we are confident that when they leave the halls of Mason High School they are going to continue to make their mark on the world,” he said.

The students will be recognized by the Board of Education on Oct. 24.
