Lichtstein Semifinalist in Presidential Scholars Program

Gordon Lichtstein, a graduating senior at Decatur High School, has been named one of 625 semifinalists in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. The semifinalists were selected from among more than 6,000 candidates expected to graduate from U.S. high schools this year.

Inclusion in the Presidential Scholars Program, now in its 60th year, is one of the highest honors bestowed upon graduating high school seniors. Scholars are selected on the basis of their accomplishments in many areas – academic and artistic success, accomplishment in career and technical fields, leadership, strong character, and involvement in school and the community.

A total of 18 graduating seniors from the state of Georgia were among the semifinalists.
