Lynbrook High School is proud to announce that senior Charisse Cueto was named a Semifinalist in the prestigious 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program.

Cueto excels academically at Lynbrook High School, namely in her favorite subjects of math and computer science. As a member of the LHS mathletes team and the Nassau County Interscholastic Math League, she competes at both the local and county levels. Her interest in coding brought her to the robotics team and the drone soccer team, which participate in regular competitions. She also helps younger peers through tutoring for the SAT. Among her biggest influences at LHS are Mrs. Mitchell, her 10th grade English teacher, and Mr. Franklin, her mathletes coach.

In this year’s 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program, more than 16,000 academically talented high school seniors from across the nation were chosen as Semifinalists for their outstanding academic records and their Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) scores. Semifinalists will continue in the competition to vie for 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth a total of nearly $26 million.

“Being named a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist is such an honor,” said Principal Matthew Sarosy, “and Charisse embodies all that it takes to receive such a distinction.”

Lynbrook High School students recently attended two exciting and engaging STEM-based summer programs that provided challenging learning opportunities for more than 40 students.
Developed and taught by Stanford University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates, the artificial intelligence education program helped students gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts of AI, including how AI is used to build generative AI such as ChatGPT, fight the COVID-19 pandemic and power self-driving cars. Students learned to program AI using Python, discussed ethics and bias within AI and completed a group project applying AI to disciplines like healthcare, astronomy, and finance.
The second program was an introduction to science research designed for rising freshmen. The students participated in hands-on laboratory activities relating to several aspects of science research. This enrichment program allowed students to perform advanced laboratory investigations like isolating their own DNA, genetically engineering bacteria to glow, and using molecular biology tools to study disease outbreaks.
