Continental High School is proud to announce that Camren Burgei, son of Craig and Angela Burgei, has been named a Commended Student in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSQ), which conducts the program, was presented to Camren earlier today.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2026 competition for National Merit Scholarship Awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 students who entered the competition by taking the 2024 PSAT/NMSQT Test.
“Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commended a spokesperson for the NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement of educational excellence in our nation. We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.”
