Birdville ISD Student Earns National Honors

BISD is proud to announce Fred Zhu, Haltom High School senior, has been named a National Merit Semifinalist. This prestigious honor is a result of his academic achievement on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®).

In fall 2014, Zhu plans on attending either the University of Texas in Austin or the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and majoring in electrical engineering. In high school, he participates in the Academic Quiz League and is a member of the National Honor Society. He is the son of Yuhong Dong and Joe Zhu.

Nearly 1.5 million students in more than 21,000 U.S. high schools entered the 2013 Merit Program by taking the 2012 PSAT/NMSQT® test as juniors. Each year, less than one percent of the nation’s high school seniors receive the prestigious designation of becoming a semifinalist.

Later this school year, the National Merit Program Corporation will announce the names of the students who are recognized as National Hispanic Merit Semifinalists, National Black American Achievement Scholarship Program Semifinalists and Commended Scholars.
