Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School Announces Two National Merit Finalists!

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School is proud to announce Giselle Simms and Zachary Hulcher as National Merit Scholarship® Finalists. Giselle and Zachary are two of over 16,000 scholastically talented high school seniors to have an opportunity to continue in the competition for over 8,300 Merit Scholarship® awards, worth over $32 million. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, students must fulfill several requirements and about one-half of the Finalists are selected as Merit Scholarship winners, earning the Merit Scholar® title.

As finalists, Giselle and Zachary have both maintained outstanding academic records throughout their high school years, have been endorsed and recommended by their school principal, and have earned SAT scores that confirm their qualifying test performance. Giselle and Zachary also had to submit a detailed scholarship application, including a self-descriptive essay and information regarding their participation and leadership in both school and community activities.

Zachary is the son of Vickie and Richard Hulcher of Montgomery.  Giselle is the daughter of Mariann and Douglas Simms of Wetumpka. Both Giselle and Zachary hope to attend MIT in the fall.
