RHS
Has Two Commended Students
Dan Snyder and Peter Falango
(RIVERHEAD,
NY - November, 2005) This Fall two RHS seniors, Peter Falango
and Dan Snyder, were notified that they had qualified for
the distinction of being named "Commended Students"
in the National Merit Scholarship Program.
More than 1.3 million juniors in nearly 21,000 U.S. high
schools entered the 2006 National Merit Program by taking
the 2004 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying
Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which serves as an initial screen of
program entrants.
Even though Peter and Dan are not qualified to continue
as semifinalists, they have earned the distinction of placing
among the top 5% of those 1.3 million juniors who took the
test.
Peter Falango, the president of the senior class and a member
of the National Honor Scociety, is also an outstanding trumpet
player and has been chosen to attend both the All-County
and All-State Music Festivals this year. He plans to pursue
a degree in music after he graduates from RHS.
Dan Snyder, also a member of the National Honor Society,
is also a member of the Latin Club, Mentathletes, the Math
Club, Co-President of the Outdoors Club and is a Platoon
Leader and webmaster for the NJROTC, as well as a member
of the Varsity Tennis and Golf Teams. He plans to major
in mechanical engineering after high school.
