2. National Merit Scholars Dr. Regina Sanford, Assistant Superintendent, said the National Merit Scholarship program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Of the 1.5 million students taking the qualifying test, some 50,000 students with the highest scores qualify for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Approximately 16,000 of these high scorers are later identified as being semi-finalists. These students are the highest scorers from each of the respective states. Roughly, 15,000 semi-finalists then receive notification of being a finalist and receive a Merit Scholarship award. From the pool of finalists, 7,500 are then selected to receive National Merit Scholarships and are recognized

as National Merit Scholars. Dr. Sanford stated that she was pleased to announce that St. Tammany Parish has 15 National Merit semi-finalists. From the 15, we have 13 of those who are finalists; and 4 of those are Scholars this school year. Dr. Sanford introduced the finalists, gave an overview of their accomplishments, career interests, community service activities and college plans. She stated that Northshore High School has three finalists: Mason Calico, Maria Lew (unable to attend) and Alexandra Barron (unable to attend). Fontainebleau High School has two finalists: Stephen Kelly and Alan Cuff.

3. Recognition of Covington High School 100 Years of AdvancED/SACS Accreditation

Dr. Regina Sanford, Assistant Superintendent, stated and AdvancED is an international accrediting agency dedicated to advancing the quality of education for students worldwide. Maintaining an accreditation status demonstrates to our community, our commitment to excellence, our openness to external review and feedback, and our desire to be the best that we can on behalf of the students that we serve. She shared some highlights of our commitment to this endeavor. In 2005, St. Tammany Parish was one of the first districts in Louisiana to be recognized for System accreditation. That meant all the schools as well as the district office were involved and we met the high quality standards as developed by AdvancED. Re-accreditation was awarded in 2010 and most recently in 2015. Since 1958 until the present day, all of our schools have maintained accreditation. That is extremely noteworthy. Mandeville High School as accumulated 59 years of accreditation. They started in the school year of 1957. In the school year of 1923, Slidell High School first obtained accreditation, and they have 93 years of accreditation. The milestone of achievement is Covington High School. Accreditation for Covington High dates back to school year 1915, and now marks 100 years of continuous accreditation. Covington High is one of only seven schools in the state of Louisiana to have reached this milestone. Dr. Sanford called on Superintendent Folse, and the principal of Covington High, Mrs. Rosalyn Hanson, for a special presentation. Mrs. Hanson stated that it was an honor to receive the recognition on behalf of Covington High School. She stated that she is a graduate and her 4 children are all graduates from Covington High as well. She stated that Covington High meets the needs of a very diverse population and continues to meet the needs of “Every Child Every Day.”

4. United States Presidential Scholars Dr. Regina Sanford, Assistant Superintendent, stated that the United States Presidential Scholars program was established in 1964 by an executive order of the President. This was to recognize and honor some of the nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. The selection of approximately 4,000 original program candidates is made based on SAT and ACT scores. Application is by invitation only; therefore, schools may not individually apply nor may their schools nominate them. A review committee evaluates the candidates based upon their academic achievements, personal characteristics, leadership and service activities as well as an analysis of their essay. Approximately 800 candidates are named semi-finalists and forwarded to the Commission on Presidential Scholars for further review in April. St. Tammany Parish has seven of these students: four from Mandeville High and three from Northshore High. From that pool each year, up to 161 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation’s highest honors for high school seniors. To commemorate their achievement, the scholars are awarded the

3

U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House. With a grade point average of 4.6, a score of 35 on the ACT, a National Merit finalist, the recipient of a full scholarship to Rice University and one of the nine Louisiana finalists (only two were from public non-selective schools in Louisiana), Dr. Sanford introduced St. Tammany Parish’s U.S. Presidential Scholar, Katherine Simmers from Northshore High School. She asked that Katherine’s parents and principal come to the podium to be congratulated as well. Mrs. Mullett congratulated all the award winners. She stated that this is what makes St. Tammany a “great” School System, and that everyone is focused on the same goal “to meet the needs of every child every day” no matter what those needs are. II.
