Both teens earned the honor through achievement on the 2012 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Each now has the opportunity to advance to the finalist level and qualify for Merit Scholarship awards.

To become a finalist, both must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, must be recommended by the school principal and must earn SAT scores that confirm their earlier qualifying test performance.

“What a proud moment for North Salem to have two exceptional students qualify in this prestigious program," Principal Patricia Cyganovich said in a statement. "I will be very proud to recommend Sean and Dan.”

Merit Scholarship winners of 2014 will be announced beginning in April 2014.
