National Merit Scholarship Class of 2022
The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. Of the 1.5 million entrants, some 50,000 with the highest PSAT/NMSQT® Selection Index scores (calculated by doubling the sum of the Reading, Writing and Language, and Math Test scores) qualify for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program. These students qualify as either Commended Students or Semifinalists.
Commended Students
About 34,000 of the approximately 50,000 high scorers on the PSAT/NMSQT receive Letters of Commendation in recognition of their outstanding academic promise. Six students from Mahtomedi Public Schools were announced as commended students in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program.
Semifinalist Students
About 16,000 students, or approximately one-third of the 50,000 high scorers, are notified that they have qualified as Semifinalists. Semifinalists are the highest scoring entrants in each state. Semifinalists have an opportunity to continue in the competition and advance to the Finalist category and compete for National Merit Scholarships worth more than $30 million. Two students from Mahtomedi Public Schools were announced as semifinalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program.

The Academic Awards at Mahtomedi High School recognizes a student’s past year’s academic achievement. It takes considerable time and effort to receive this recognition and we are very proud of this achievement. At school, we recognized students by presenting them with their Mahtomedi Letter (if it was their first Letter) and a certificate.

In the program, you’ll see that we asked all of our Academic Award recipients, "What class or learning experience at Mahtomedi High School has shaped your academic growth or passions?" These statements highlight the transformational experiences happening at Mahtomedi High School. It is exciting to see our students being reflective learners and how they are finding their academic passions and pursuing their personal excellence.

Every year, music educators from around the state of Minnesota gather to celebrate music education at the annual Minnesota Music Educators Association conference. At the event, music educators experience high-quality learning sessions from fellow music educators, college music professors, and professionals in the field of performance and conducting. We are thrilled to announce that the Mahtomedi High School Zephyr Wind Ensemble has been selected to perform at the 2022 Minnesota Music Educators conference! 
 

The Mahtomedi High School Zephyr Wind Ensemble is a group of students from 10th-12th grade. This group is in its second year of existence, and students must audition to be a part of it. Students play typical concert band instruments (like flute, trumpet, percussion, etc), but it is a smaller group that tends to only have one person on a part, and they play more challenging music. 

 

The Zephyr Wind Ensemble will perform at the conference on February 18 and their performance will focus on Women in Music: honoring women composers, conductors, and performers.

A hat trick for Mahtomedi’s Audrey Barry! This is the 10th State Championship title for the Zephyrs!

In the spring of 2021, Minnesota graduation rates for 2020 were released and Mahtomedi Public Schools is the top district in the metro area with a graduation rate of 98.6%. This notable achievement reflects the considerable effort our staff made during the global pandemic to support our students.
