Arlington students earning the honor:
> H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program: Nicola Beaumont, Grant Goco, Isaac Studley.
> Washington-Liberty High School: Alexander Bartl, Jacob Coleman, Nico Sebastien Docena, Emma Hemsch, Cora McCabe, Elle Pickard, Noah Pogorelsky.

The nationwide pool of semifinalists, which represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
