NATIONAL MERIT FINALISTS!!! Madeline Bruss (KM Global) and Bridget Duffy (KMHS) have been recognized as Finalists in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Competition. This is truly an incredible academic accomplishment! More than 1.5 million juniors nationwide entered the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/MNSQT) in the fall of their junior year. The 16,000 semifinalists represented less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors and included the highest scoring entrants in each state. To become a finalist and to be considered for a National Merit scholarship, each student was required to present an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed by their high school, and earn college entrance test scores that confirmed the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying SAT. Winners of National Merit Scholarship awards are chosen from the Finalist group based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments. Scholarships will be awarded to approximately 7,000 finalists beginning in March, 2025.
HOST FAMILIES NEEDED!!! Several foreign exchange students need host families for the 25-26 school year at KMHS. We have a girl, Ines 16, from Argentina who loves movies, reading, travel, writing, horseback riding, cross country skiing and all things active and outdoors. According to Ines, "I consider myself an ambitious and brave person, and I believe that I can do anything that I put on my mind. Even if I struggle a lot, I know that eventually, I will achieve it. For me, both university and career goals are very important objectives in my life. At school, I have chosen biology related subjects, and have always been interested in being a biochemist or maybe a biotech." We also have a boy, Ludwig 16, who enjoys pop music, pets, reading, and sporting events. He plays basketball, soccer and tennis and loves American football. "I hope the program will make me more self-reliant, more flexible and that it will provide me with a more cosmopolitan outlook," said Ludwig. "After my year abroad, I will attend school for another 2 years to acquire a diploma which allows me to study at university. I would like to become a journalist." The students' families pay all expenses and provide their medical insurance. Our students speak English and want to learn about America. Please help them realize their dream, Contact Carrie asap for information at 414-899-3890 or schulzcarr@aol.com.
