The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has named 10 Northshore School District seniors as National Merit Finalists. Finalists represent less than one-half of 1 percent of the 1.5 million students who took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test nationwide. Students are: Katie Hayward and Sejin Kim of Bothell High School; Wyatt Carpenter, Gokul Gowri, Tobin Hansen, Xin Yi Kuang and Corrina Lee; and Elling Payne, Janis Shin and Allyson Wheaton of Woodinville High School.

Finalists will be considered for more than 7,400 National Merit Scholarship Awards to be awarded this spring and often receive other offers because of their standing as National Merit Finalists.
