Holy Cross Seniors Named National Merit
Finalists
Two Holy
Cross School seniors have been named Finalists in the 2019 National Merit
Scholarship Program.
Cade
Martin, son of Sean and Jenna Martin (Class of 1992), and Blake Ziegler, son of
Melvin and Rebecca Ziegler (Class of 1977), have both been named National Merit
Finalists. These academically talented high school seniors are among
approximately 15,000 Finalists in the 64th annual National Merit Scholarship
Program, and they will now have the opportunity to compete for one of 7,500
National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered
this spring.
“Blake
and Cade are perfect examples of Holy Cross Men. Neither gentleman rests on his
academic accolades; rather, each strives to be a complete person: mind, heart,
body and soul. Holy Cross School encourages young men to embrace their
community to fulfill their God-given genius and to be servant leaders through
participation and a commitment to excellence,” said Sean Martin, Headmaster of
Holy Cross School
