"The young men and women being named 'Commended Students' have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success," commented a spokesperson for the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).
“Theodore is an exceptionally well-rounded student," said Passman. "He is a member of the JROTC Corps of Cadets, an AP Scholar, and competes on the Wrestling and Math teams. We are very proud of Theodore."
