🏆 Celebrating Academic Excellence! 🏆

Please join us in congratulating three O’Fallon Township High School students who have been named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists!

⭐ Aadarsh Shrestha
⭐ Charles Bauer
⭐ Theodore Pipas

More than 1.2 million high school juniors took the PSAT in 2025, and fewer than 1% of students nationwide qualify as National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists.

We are incredibly proud of Aadarsh, Charles, and Theodore for this outstanding academic achievement and for representing OTHS at the highest levels of academic excellence.

Congratulations! We are Panther Proud! 🐾💙💛

We are grateful for community partners who invest in our teachers and help them get their classrooms, and their careers, off to a great start! 💙💛

Thank you, O'Fallon Sunrise Rotary Club, for supporting our educators and Elevating Every Student! ⭐
