Congratulations to FAC seniors Avanti Keskar (Jazz Studies) and David Ropp (Chamber Strings) on being named Semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program!
High school juniors entered the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. The number of Semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
Avanti and David will have an opportunity to continue in the competition to earn one of 6,870 National Merit Scholarships – a total of $26 million in scholarship money – that will be offered next spring.

The Arts Schools Network Board of Directors has named the Fine Arts Center an Exemplary School in recognition of its commitment to excellence. The five-year designation is awarded for 2023-2028.
Arts Schools Network (ASN), the nation’s largest professional membership organization of specialized arts schools, awards Exemplary School designations to members that follow A Guide to Assessing Your Arts School in strategically evaluating their school’s purpose, operations, and educational programs. The Guide is a collaborative effort by ASN and the Accrediting Commission for Community and Pre-collegiate Arts Schools (ACCPAS).
ASN will honor the school at the Awards Ceremony during the ASN 2023 Annual Conference, in Birmingham, Alabama.
