Scores from the first digital SATs were released by College Board on Friday with many students still unsure if they prefer the paper or digital version of the standardized test.
It’s been nearly three months since the Frisco ISD class of 2022 graduated, but they are still earning accolades as FISD graduated more National Merit Scholars than any other district in Texas. 73 FISD seniors received college-sponsored, corporate-sponsored, and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) scholarships based on their scores on the PSAT/NMSQT.
There were 28 winners of the 2022 National Merit $2,500 Scholarship, as well as corporate-sponsored scholarship winners. The 45 other winners were awarded scholarships from the colleges they planned to attend during their four years of undergraduate study.
Among the 73 Frisco ISD students to earn the National Merit Scholar distinction, six students were Redhawks.
