Dominican High School Student Named a National Merit Finalist

Dominican High School senior Amelia Foss has been named a National Merit Finalist by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Amelia is the daughter of Edward and Carol Foss of Whitefish Bay. High school seniors are selected as National Merit Finalists based on their academic performance throughout high school, SAT scores and participation and leadership in school and community activities. These academically talented students represent less than 1 percent of high school seniors nationwide and are eligible for the National Merit Scholarships that will be awarded in March.

Amelia is the co-valedictorian for Dominican High School’s Class of 2012, earning a perfect 4.0 grade point average. She is a member of the National Honor Society and is an accomplished pianist.

Amelia is a member of the Milwaukee Ballet School, where she has performed in numerous productions including The Nutcracker, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet and Sleeping Beauty. She will be attending Princeton University in the fall where she plans to study Biological Sciences.
