Shaker seniors Stephanie Goldfarb, Anthony Lanese, and Hyunho Lee were invited to apply for the Presidential Scholars program, having earned the highest possible scores on college entrance examinations. Both Stephanie and Hyunho earned 2400 on the Scholastic Assessment Test (which now includes three sections, each with a maximum possible score of 800) and Anthony scored a 36 composite on the American College Test, also the highest possible. All three are also among Shaker's National Merit Semifinalists this year.

Only 2,600 candidates nationwide are identified for the academic component of the prestigious program. Each spring, up to 141 students are named Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students. The program, initiated in 1964, has honored more than 5,000 Presidential Scholars for their scholarship, leadership, artistic ability, and contribution to their school and community.
