Palo Verde Receives grant from the howard hughes corporation and summerlin

The Howard Hughes Corporation and the community of Summerlin presented a check to Palo Verde High School in the amount of $10,000.  The donation will be used to build batting and pitching cages for the baseball and softball programs. The cages will be lighted enabling players to continue practice during the short practice days in the fall and winter.  Coach Fiddler and Coach Glass envision their teams providing clinics to Summerlin baseball players as a community service.  Tom Warden, senior vice president of the Howard Hughes Corporation said, "We hope the addition of this batting and pitching facility provide greater opportunities for Palo Verde athletes to grow and develop their skills on the diamond."  Palo Verde High School greatly appreciates the support of the Summerlin community.

Four Palo Verde High School seniors, Alexander Blutman, Gyu Yeun Kim, Wesley Mann, and Tyler Michael, were named as Semifinalists in the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program.  These academically talented high school seniors, representing the top 1% of students in the state, have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,400 National Merit Scholarships, worth more than $36 million, that will be offered next spring.

About 1.5 million juniors entered the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2011 PSAT.  The nationwide pool of Semifinalists includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.  To become a Finalist, Semifinalists must have an outstanding academic record, be recommended by the principal, and earn SAT scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the PSAT.

Last year, Palo Verde High School had two National Merit Finalists.  These students are now attending Pomona College and the University of Nevada, Reno.  Scholarships they received contributed to the more than $16 million dollars earned by Palo Verde High School graduates in 2012.
