Join us in congratulating BHS student Jonathan Aucker on being named a Semifinalist in the 2025 National Merit® Scholarship Program! 🎉
Jonathan plans to pursue a double major in math and physics at a leading STEM college. His goal is to earn at least one PhD and eventually reach and conduct research at the university level. Outside the classroom, he is involved in activities such as dance, theater, choir/chorale, the Raccoon River Conference Honor Choir, and quiz bowl, and he occasionally tutors fellow students.
Jonathan is among 16,000 students nationwide named as semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship program.
