Juniors Among Nation's Top Scorers on PSAT


John Barton '25, left, and Jacob Beatty '25.

Approximately 1.3 million students took the PSAT in the fall. 

Of that number, 50,000 scored high enough to be considered a National Merit Semifinalist or Commended Student, including Christ School juniors John Barton ’25 and Jacob Beatty ’25. The boys, who are both from Asheville, will be notified early in the 2024-25 school year if they are semifinalists. 

Congratulations, John and Jacob!
