MHS student named national merit scholarship finalist

Marshalltown High School is proud to announce that Owen Eaton, a senior, has been named a Finalist in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. This prestigious recognition places our student among the top academic performers in the nation.

The National Merit Scholarship Program recognizes exceptional high school students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and potential. Finalists are selected based on their PSAT/NMSQT scores, academic record, extracurricular achievements, and other accomplishments. Finalists are considered for National Merit Scholarship Awards.

"This remarkable achievement places Owen among the nation's top scholars. As a school community, we celebrate this success and the bright future it represents," said Justin Boliver, Interim Principal of Marshalltown High School. "It's wonderful to see a Bobcat reach such heights."

The National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced later this spring. To learn more about the National Merit Scholarship Program, go to www.nationalmerit.org.
