  2. Selection Process • Student selection is based on potential to raise their PSAT score enough to achieve National Merit Semi-finalist and/or National Achievement. • This is a select group based on PSAT scores from tenth grade. • We hold an informational meeting early in the second semester to inform parents and selected students about the class. • Because of student interest, we opened the class to other students, which resulted in the creation of two classes.
