Three Strongsville residents attending St. Ignatius High School were named National Merit Semi-Finalists. Pictured are (left to right) Nathan Schwartz, Conor Bush and Adam Abele. National Merit Semifinalists represent less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors. For the students to become finalists, they must have an outstanding academic record, be recommended by the high school principal and earn SAT scores that confirm the scores they earned on the qualifying test.
