WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP – Washington Township High School executive principal Ray Anderson announced on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, that WTHS seniors Noah Elliott and Faaz Syed have been named Commended Students in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. Anderson presented a Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, to these scholastically talented seniors.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
