Hinkley High School announced that Areli Alcazar has been named Commended Student in the 2009 Nation Merit Scholarship Program. A letter of commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior.
Abou 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.

Recognition of academically talented students and the key role played by schools in their development is essential to the pursuit of educational excellence in our nation, "commented a spokesperson for NMSC. "The young people named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding academic potential by their strong performance in this highly competitive program. We hope that this recognition will enhance their educational opportunities and that they will continue to diligently pursue their professional goals.
