Two BHHS Students Named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists – Beverly Hills Courier
Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) seniors Ezra Albert and Xander Matcuk have been named National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists in the Class of 2026.
This prestigious recognition places the two among the top high school scholars nationwide, representing less than one percent of all graduating seniors across the country. Both students were honored at last month’s BHUSD Board of Education meeting, where they received official certificates of recognition from district leaders and their principal.
Both students began their educational journey at Horace Mann Elementary, continued through Beverly Vista Middle School, and then on the BHHS.
“We are incredibly proud of Ezra and Xander for earning this national distinction,” said Dr. Dustin Seemann, Assistant Superintendent of Education Services. “Their hard work, intellectual curiosity, and perseverance represent the very best of BHUSD students.”
The National Merit Scholarship Program honors students who demonstrate exceptional academic promise through outstanding performance on the PSAT/NMSQT exam. Semi-Finalists now move forward in the competition for National Merit Finalist standing and the opportunity to earn scholarships sponsored by colleges, corporations, and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
