National Merit Finalist

Senior Alice Cai was in Science Research on February 21 when a call came from the Counseling Center, asking her to come to their office. When she arrived, Dr. Steven Siciliano, principal of John Jay, and Marisa Merlino, director of guidance and counseling, shared exciting news. “Congratulations! You are a National Merit Scholarship Program Finalist!” said Dr. Siciliano.

Alice is student of broad talents. Not only is she the valedictorian of John Jay’s Class of 2024, but Alice is also Student Council president, a Campus Congress representative and founder and president of John Jay High School’s Fashion Reimagined Club. Outside of school, she is an accomplished pianist and an Advisory Board Member of the President's Junior Leadership Council at Northern Westchester Hospital.

“Alice’s future is undoubtedly bright, and we have no doubt that she will continue to excel in all her endeavors,” said Dr. Siciliano. “Well done, Alice, and best wishes for continued success!”
