Bossier Parish Schools
WIN the Day
Bossier Schools is proud to announce that two of our outstanding students have been named National Merit Scholar Semifinalists.
Congratulations to Ana Islas-Ruiz from Airline High School and Nathan Causey from Benton High School on earning this prestigious national distinction. Out of the class of 2027, they are among just 16,000 semifinalists selected nationwide. Both students are now in the running for roughly 6,700 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million, which will be awarded this spring.
Reaching this stage places Ana and Nathan in the upper echelon of high school seniors across the country, and is a a true testament to their persistence and passion for learning.
Please join us in celebrating Ana and Nathan!
