The Woodlands Christian Academy Celebrates 3 National Merit Commended Scholars

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Christian Academy (TWCA) is proud to announce that three seniors have been named National Merit Commended Scholars in recognition of their outstanding performance on the 2025 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).

Through rigorous academics and a commitment to developing the whole student, TWCA prepares young men and women to pursue their God-given potential and make a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.
