St. John ’18 Receives National Merit Scholarship

Recent Springs graduate Sam St. John has been selected to receive a National Merit Scholarship sponsored by the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he plans to study nursing.

One of six Indian Springs seniors to be named 2018 National Merit finalists, St. John was selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors based on his academic record, standardized test scores, contributions and leadership at Indian Springs, community activities, personal essay, and a letter of recommendation.

Co-head of Springs’ Gender and Sexuality Alliance, St. John has excelled in academics and the arts at Springs. He received an honorable mention on the 2017 National French Exam and represented Springs at the state French Convention in 2017 and 2018. His mixed media artwork entitled “You Never Leave” was chosen for display in the 2017 Alabama Statewide Student Juried Art Exhibition, sponsored by the Shelby County Arts Council. Throughout his time at Springs, he was also a member of the Indian Springs School Concert and Chamber Choirs and an active participant in Springs Theatre.

Congratulations, Sam!
