Long Beach High School is proud to congratulate Daniel Barto for being named a National Merit Commended Student. 

A senior, Daniel is among 34,000 Letters of Commendation recipients nationwide who earned this honor based on their PSAT scores. This is an elite pool, considering that the PSAT, which serves as the National Merit Scholarship Program qualifying test, is taken by approximately 1.5 million students annually.

Daniel’s school involvement is extensive, as he is a National Honor Society member, Robotics Club participant and varsity volleyball, hockey and lacrosse athlete, achieving All-County Honorable Mention distinction in the latter. He also plans to join the Fragments literary magazine this year. Daniel hopes to pursue a college and career path in engineering after he graduates in June.
