The Head of school, Justin Kleinheider, of MMI Preparatory School announced today that Rachael Betz has been named a Commended Student in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program.
A Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC®), which conducts the program, was presented to this scholastically talented senior.
