Mr. Edward Chmiel, Principal of Ewing High School, is proud to announce that Ewing High School senior, Liam Ta, was named has a Commended Student in the 2024 National Merit^® Scholarship Program. Mr. Chmiel was notified of this prestigious honor for Liam in late September and wanted the Ewing community to know of this outstanding accomplishment.

Students entered the National Merit Scholarship Program, a nationwide competition for recognition and awards conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC^®), by taking the 2022 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT^®) last October. Commended Students are recognized for the exceptional academic promise demonstrated by their outstanding performance on the qualifying test used for program entry.

National Merit Scholarship Corporation, Director of Scholarship Administration, James, C. Wittenberg, shared these sentiments with Principal Chmiel in his correspondence. “We have great respect for the important role your professional staff play in the development of academic excellence, and it is a genuine pleasure for NMSC to join you in honoring this talented student.”

Liam Ta began his education journey in September 2011 at Antheil Elementary School in Mrs. Wojciechowski’s kindergarten class, as the saying goes, “You’ve come a long way,” is quite the understatement for this young man.

Congratulations Liam Ta and thank you to each Ewing Public Schools educator who played an important role in Liam’s success!
