Spring Hill High School’s Henry Seitz Named National Merit Finalist

Spring Hill High School senior Henry Seitz has been named a National Merit Finalist, an honor awarded to less than 1% of high school seniors nationwide for exceptional academic achievement.

SPRING HILL, Kan. (March 21, 2025) — Spring Hill High School senior Henry Seitz has been named a National Merit Finalist, placing him among the top 1% of high school seniors nationwide in this prestigious academic competition.

The National Merit Scholarship Program recognizes students with exceptional academic ability and potential for collegiate success. Seitz advanced from Semifinalist to Finalist status after meeting rigorous scholastic requirements and earning high scores on the PSAT/NMSQT.

“We are incredibly proud of Henry for this outstanding achievement,” said Spring Hill High School Principal Marc Williams. “This recognition reflects his dedication to academic excellence and the strong support system of educators, family, and peers at Spring Hill High School.”

More than 1.3 million students enter the National Merit Scholarship Program each year, but only about 15,000 earn the distinction of Finalist. Seitz will now be considered for a National Merit Scholarship, which will be awarded later this spring.

“This is a remarkable accomplishment that speaks to Henry’s hard work and commitment to learning,” said Dr. Link Luttrell, superintendent of Spring Hill Schools. “We celebrate his success and look forward to seeing what he will accomplish in the future.”
