Three students from Briarcliff High School were named to a prestigious group of high-achieving scholars who scored high marks on a multifaceted exam. According to the school district:
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has named three Briarcliff High School seniors as semifinalists in its 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program. Elizabeth Kanovsky, Tyler Friedman and David Gold are among the top one percent of about 1.5 million juniors in more than 22,000 high schools who entered the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). The nationwide pool of semifinalists includes the highest scoring entrants in each state. The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.
The semifinalists may proceed in the competition for finalist status and a possible National Merit Scholarship award. To become a finalist, semifinalists and their high school must submit a detailed scholarship application in which they provide information about the semifinalist’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, and honors and awards received.

The Yorktown Chamber of Commerce sold out, the town board members need to look into why are supporting this…did anyone get a kick-back. All the local Republican elected officials, Ball, Terrance Murphy and Katz stood on this property declaring they would be creating jobs. Can you pay your mortgage working at Cosco? What a bunch of BS…Costco is just creating more traffic, no competition and will close the downtown of Yorktown where already there is no foot traffic. Looks like Murphy is looking for cheaper food to purchase in bulk for his horrible restaurant where food already sucks. What Yorktown needs is more educated consumers and voters to not vote these people in office and get them out of office since all 3 are terrible. What have they done for residents? NOTHING
