Savannah Schneider said most of her actions these days are driven by her desire to earn college scholarships. After she graduates from West Hall High School this spring, she intends to major in pharmacology but isn’t sure yet where she’ll be going to college. Schneider hopes that being one of four local students who have been named finalists in the National Merit Scholarship program will land her in a better college situation.
