Ruston High School senior Austin Guillory has been named a Commended Student in the 2024 National Merit Scholarship Program and was presented his honor on Wednesday.
“Austin is a great student and a great representative for Ruston High,” Ruston High principal Dan Gressett said. “I’m not surprised at all that he is being recognized for this honor. He works hard in the classroom and we are excited for him. “
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2024 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the 2024 competition by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
