Every year, 1.3 million high school students across the nation enter the National Merit Scholarship Program. Of those 1.3 million, only 16,000 are chosen as semifinalists. That’s barely over 1%.
But Park City High School Student Malachi Merrill beat those odds when he took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test last year as a junior, and he was recently named one of the selected few.

PARK CITY — The Park City School District plans to give students a pair of environmentally safe school buses next year. One of the district’s bus drivers said there are several benefits to driving an electric bus compared to the traditional gas-powered vehicle.
“They are actually very, very nice. They’re like the limousines of the buses! They’re smooth driving. They’re quiet. You don’t have the exhaust. They’re awesome,” said Nachol Workman, a school bus driver.

If a school bus starts and there’s no one around to hear it, does it still make a sound? There’s no way to know, but if it’s one of the new electric buses the Park City School District is purchasing with funds they received from a federal grant, it will at least be a lot less noisy.
“We were able to secure some grant funding for a couple of electric buses, the first additions to our fleet,” district chief operating officer Michael Tanner said.
