We are very proud of these outstanding scholars.  There are 1.5 million students that take the PSAT test each year.  To have multiple students place in the top 1% in a single year is extraordinary.   Their achievement is a testament to their hard work, supportive families, and excellent preparation from teachers not only in high school, but in grade school as well.  I have no doubt that Josie and Cameron will be highly successful in any path they choose in life.
