Nation Merit Scholarship Finalists

John Byler and PJ Schloth, both seniors at Jenkintown Middle/High School, have been named as finalists in the rigorous National Merit Scholarship Competition. This is a testament to their hard work and commitment to their studies. Principal Tom Roller extolled great praise upon these talented students when he remarked, “John Byler is one of the finest students we have had in Jenkintown during my tenure as principal. He has exhausted all of our advanced placement offerings and has taken numerous college courses during his time at Jenkintown. In addition to his academic aptitude, John is one of the most respectful and kind individuals in our school community. He has excelled in our athletic program as a runner and has served as a leader in other clubs and organizations.”  “PJ came back to Jenkintown from Abington Friends School for his junior year and quickly immersed himself in our small school learning environment. He challenged himself with AP and college classes. In addition, he has starred in Jenkintown Theater Arts’ Productions and has served as a leader in other co-curricular activities.” We congratulate both of these young men on their success, hope that they are named winners of National Merit Scholarships, and look forward to seeing their impact on the world beyond the walls of Jenkintown Middle/High School.
