					<description><![CDATA[Valparaiso High School proudly recognizes the following students for their outstanding academic achievement:
National Merit Semifinalists: Desmond Calhoun, Parker Frailey, Jonathan Malchow, Keira Murphy, Wes Unzicker, Elizabeth Vatthauer, and Clara Warren
Commended Students: Ben Barriball, Kaenen Bartley, and Vincent LaFollette
These students have earned distinction in the National Merit Scholarship Program based on their exceptional PSAT performance. Semifinalists represent the highest scorers in each state, less than one percent of high school seniors nationwide, while Commended Students are also recognized for their exceptional academic performance.
This year, seven Valparaiso High School students have been named National Merit Semifinalists, the highest number among schools in the Duneland Athletic Conference (DAC). VHS also tied Munster and Homestead in Fort Wayne for the eighth highest number of Semifinalists in the state among both public and private schools. In addition, along with Munster, VHS outperformed every other school, public or private, in Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton, Jasper, Starke, and Marshall counties.
Valparaiso High School is proud to honor the dedication, talent, and hard work of these exceptional students.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to Austin Sabec, VHS Senior, for being named an Indiana Academic All-star Regional Hero!  Forty high school seniors from throughout Indiana have been named 2025 Indiana Academic All-Stars, a program of the Indiana Association of School Principals (IASP).  In addition, 50 other students were recognized as Academic All-Star Regional Honorees. The students were selected from a field of 225 outstanding nominees from the state’s private and public accredited schools.  Academic All-Star distinction recognizes seniors who excel in the classroom first and foremost, but who also are actively involved in their schools and communities, and take on leadership roles in those activities. The IASP Indiana Academic All-Stars program salutes academic excellence in the same manner that student athletes traditionally are honored.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Every year, students participate in the American Legion Americanism and Government Test. At VHS, the test is available to students in grades 10, 11, and 12. There are only two winners from each grade level at the district and state levels; therefore, there are a total of six district and six state winners. VHS was fortunate to have winners at both the district and state levels. The following four students were named District Award Winners of the American Legion Americanism and Government Program: Lauren Balla, Griffin Dennis, Claudia Stage, and Sean Sistrunk. Lauren Balla and Claudia Stage were also American Legion Department of Indiana winners. Congratulations to these students as well as their parents and guardians!]]></description>

These students have the opportunity to advance in the competition for some 7,600 merit scholarship awards.  The following VHS students have met all the requirements to advance to Finalist standing in the competition:   Jack Buinicki, Nathaniel Malchow, Gabriel Wetzstein, Maralee Lockridge and Audrey Barriball!
