Congratulations Joshua Crawford: National Merit Semifinalist

We are so proud of PAA senior Joshua Crawford, and we just have to celebrate him for a moment.

Joshua has been named a National Merit Semifinalist, one of only 16,000 students nationwide to earn this distinction based on his PSAT score. That places him among less than 1% of all test takers in the country. Let that sink in for a moment.

This is a remarkable achievement that reflects Joshua's dedication, hard work, and the incredible mind God has given him. He has earned every bit of this recognition.

As a Semifinalist, Joshua now has the opportunity to apply to become a National Merit Scholar Finalist. Winners will be announced in the spring, and we will be cheering him on every step of the way.

Joshua, PAA is so proud of you. What a gift you are to this community, Joshua. We are with you all the way.
