Seven Revere High School Students Named 2027 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists

Revere Local Schools is proud to announce that seven Revere High School seniors have been named Semifinalists in the 2027 National Merit® Scholarship Program, placing them among the highest-scoring students in the nation.

Revere High School seniors Eli Brackett, Laura Fondran, Deven Gupta, Nathan Johns, Caden Jones, Michael Mark, and Ayushman Mukherjee earned this prestigious recognition based on their performance on the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

Approximately 1.2 million students entered the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program, and about 16,000 students nationwide were selected as Semifinalists. These students represent the highest-scoring entrants in each state and less than one percent of the nation’s high school graduating seniors.

Semifinalists will now have the opportunity to advance to Finalist standing by completing the National Merit Scholarship Corporation’s application process. The application includes information about the student’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, leadership, employment, honors and awards, as well as a recommendation from a school official. Approximately 15,000 Semifinalists are expected to advance to the Finalist level.

National Merit Scholarship winners will be selected from the Finalist group. The 2027 scholarship recipients will be announced beginning in March, with names of Merit Scholar designees released to news media in April, May, June, and July.

Congratulations to Eli, Laura, Deven, Nathan, Caden, Michael, and Ayushman on this outstanding achievement! Revere Local Schools is proud to celebrate your academic excellence and the dedication that led to this prestigious recognition.

Revere, Where EVERY STUDENT THRIVES!
