Montgomery High School’s Alexandria Sisk has earned a $2,500 National Achievement Scholarship from the non-profit National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

Sisk is the only Sonoma County resident to win the award which is given to outstanding black American high school seniors who earned the highest scores on the 2009 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test as juniors.

In September, approximately 1,600 of the highest scorers were named semifinalists. Sisk was among the 800 students nationwide to be named a finalist, according to the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
