Clap your hands for Airline High School senior Georgia Price, who is a National Merit Scholar Semifinalist.

Price is at the top of her class at Airline and actively involved in numerous organizations at school. She is also in the Bobbie Cates Hicks SMART program at LSU Health Shreveport, which is for academically advanced high school seniors who have an interest in STEM careers.

Being chosen as a Semifinalist is a true feat given that 1.3 million students across the nation take the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship program before the pool is narrowed. Price is one of only 237 seniors in Louisiana to earn the distinction and is now eligible to advance as a Finalist and compete for millions of dollars in scholarships.

Congratulations to Georgia Price!
