Students entered the National Merit Scholarship program, a nationwide competition for recognition and awards conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation by taking the 2023 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMQT) last October. In April, NMSC identified the 50,000 highest scorers and notified their high schools. 34,000 of the 50,000 high performers are now being named Commended Students based on a national Selection Index score of 208.
The Letter of Commendation is awarded to these students for outstanding performance on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in 2023.
WCHS Commended Students in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program are as follows: Aaron Birky, Reed Bloch, Annabelle Hiel, Maria Ikladios, and Andrew Strickler. Congratulations to all of you for achieving this outstanding academic accomplishment!

On October 1, four members of the WCHS junior class had the opportunity to attend Girls Investing in Girls. This event, sponsored by the Community Foundation of Central Illinois Women's Fund, is an interactive day devoted to learning about philanthropy, nonprofit organizations, grant writing and reviewing, and much more. Our WCHS students, along with juniors from other Central Illinois schools, took part in a real-life grant selection process to conclude this event. Students heard from two very deserving organizations and ultimately helped choose the organization who will receive a $5,000 grant from the Women's Fund. If interested in finding out which organization was awarded this year's grant, please follow the Community Foundation of Central Illinois on social media.
