Twenty-three of our WL Debate Team members made the trip to the IU Bloomington Debate Tournament on Saturday, October 10. Congratulations to these top-ten finishers!
At West Lafayette, we love celebrating student growth and success at every level, and today we are excited to recognize our outstanding scholars in the 2027 National Merit Scholarship Program. Please join us in congratulating both our National Merit Semifinalists and Commended Scholars!
Being named a Semifinalist places these students among the top 1% of high school seniors nationwide, earning them the opportunity to continue in the competition for prestigious National Merit Scholarships. Our Commended Scholars represent the top 3–4% of scorers nationally, demonstrated by their exceptional performance on the PSAT/NMSQT.
