Approximately 34,000 Commended Students throughout the United States are being recognized for their exceptional academic accomplishments and promise. These students will not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, however they have placed in the top five percent of more than 1.5 million entrants who took the PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

Olivia, of Joliet, is the daughter of James and Tami Blake and a member of St. Paul the Apostle congregation.  She was also inducted into the National Honor Society in spring 2012.
