Mike R. Waldrip, Superintendent Frisco Independent School District | Official website
An extraordinary 133 Frisco ISD high school seniors have been named 2025 National Merit Semifinalists.
FISD has the highest number of 2025 National Merit Semifinalists of any district in the entire state of Texas. "Frisco ISD’s high number of National Merit Semifinalists is a testament to the exceptional talent, hard work and dedication of our students,” said Dr. Christy Fiori, chief academic officer. “Their achievements reflect the strength of the District’s commitment to academic excellence and the supportive environment we foster for all learners. We couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments and the bright futures they are building."
These academically talented students, who qualified as National Merit Semifinalists thanks to their scores on the 2023 PSAT/NMSQT, now have the chance to be named Finalists in the spring and to earn National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million.
Over 1.3 million high school juniors across 21,000 U.S. high schools entered the program by taking the qualifying test, and less than 1% were named National Merit Semifinalists. The number of Semifinalists in a state is proportionate to its number of graduating seniors.
