We’re proud to celebrate five outstanding Cumberland Valley High School students who have been named Semifinalists in the prestigious 71st Annual National Merit Scholarship Program! Each year, over 1.3 million students enter the competition by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
Only the top 1% of seniors nationwide earn Semifinalist status — and these Eagles are among them (L-R):
Siddharth Dendukuri
Aashritha Kakarla
Nandhini Jayendra Sankar

Their dedication and academic achievement have placed them in the running for a share of nearly $26 million in scholarships, with finalists to be announced in spring 2026. This remarkable milestone reflects their perseverance, drive, and commitment to excellence, and it's a proud moment for our entire CV community.
