East High School National Merit Scholar Semifinalists

Four East High seniors—Calvin Gray, Wyatt Hirsch, Jervis Jose, and Luke Skinner—have been named semifinalists in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Semifinalists represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors and are among the highest scorers on the PSAT/NMSQT®. These students will now compete for nearly 6,930 National Merit Scholarships worth about $26 million to be awarded next spring.

East High is extremely proud of our students for earning this recognition. They exemplify the academic excellence and commitment we value at East High.
