Penn-Trafford High School has announced that senior Adithri Pingali has been named a Finalist in the 2026 National Merit® Scholarship Program.
“To put it simply, Adithri is amazing,” said Mr. Tony Aquilio, principal of Penn-Trafford High School. “She is one of those rare students whose presence elevates every room she walks into. Whether it's a classroom, a courtroom, a quiz team match, or an EMT ambulance. Adithri is driven, compassionate, endlessly curious, and a role model for her peers.”
As a Finalist, Pingali is now eligible to compete for National Merit Scholarships, which will be awarded later this year. The distinction places her among a select group of students nationwide recognized for their academic achievements.
