Pine Bush High School seniors Luke Beers, Madelline Monahan, and Tam-Ann Thai have received Letters of Commendation for their outstanding performance on the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). 

Each year, over one million high school students nationwide take the PSAT/NMSQT. The top 50,000 high scorers are eligible to qualify for National Merit Program Recognition. Only 34,000 of the high scorers are commended for exceptional academic performance. Our three seniors are among those very few!

“PBHS is proud of all the hard work our students achieve. On behalf of the administration at the high school, congratulations to Luke, Madeline, and Tam-Ann,” said Pine Bush High School Principal Thomas Breitfeller. “We are very proud of you for being recognized for this incredible honor. Own your learning and lead the world!”
