23 BASIS Independent Silicon Valley Seniors are 2019 National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists
We are so proud to announce that 23 of our students have earned places as Semifinalists in the 2019 National Merit Scholarship Program. Roughly 16,000 students across the nation have qualified as Semifinalists, and we are thrilled to have continued representation on our campus.
To qualify as a Semifinalist this year, each student must have a score that falls in the top 1% on the PSAT taken during their junior year. All Semifinalists now have the opportunity to compete for a Finalist position, which could lead to securing a National Merit Scholarship. We wish our students the best, and look forward to the Finalist results coming out in February.
Please join us in congratulating our Semifinalists:

American Computer Science League All Star Contest
BASIS Independent Silicon Valley’s Senior Team's outstanding performance in the regular season earned them an invitation to the American Computer Science League All Star contest. Invitations to the All Star Contest are based on cumulative team scores earned at the four ACLS events scheduled over the regular season. Our Senior team was thrilled to learn that based on their scores, they were heading out to Rhode Island over Memorial Day weekend for the big competition.
Welcome!
Inspired by the blissful feeling of uncovering connections, our blog Eureka! Silicon Valley is about sharing moments that capture the essence of what it is to be a BASIS Independent student, teacher, administrator, or family.
