Did you know that 80 HCPS seniors were recently named Semifinalists in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program? Strawberry Crest High School had 28 of those students, which is the most of any public school in Florida.
These students now join nearly 16,000 other Semifinalists, representing less than 1% of high school seniors nationwide. They have the chance to advance to the Finalist level, with the opportunity to earn nearly $26 million in scholarships.
Congratulations to our students, especially this incredible group of Chargers! We are so proud of your dedication, perseverance, and academic excellence.
