               RECOGNIZING THE PERFECT SAT SCORE OF SAHLI NEGASSI

                                     ______

                              HON. LaMONICA McIVER

                                 of new jersey

                        in the house of representatives

                          Wednesday, February 26, 2025

      Mrs. McIVER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Sahli Negassi, a
    NJ-10 student at West Orange high school who received a perfect score
    on the SAT this year. Less than 1 percent of SAT test-takers earn a
    perfect score each year, and Sahli's accomplishment is nothing short of
    extraordinary. His SAT preparation was largely self-directed, relying
    on free resources, and using his time and determination to study for
    the exam. Beyond

    academics, he is deeply involved in extracurricular activities at West
    Orange High School. He has been a dedicated member of the cross-country
    and track teams since seventh grade and spent two seasons on the color
    guard. Sahli is also the president of the math team, chapter president
    of the National Honor Society, a varsity chess team member and part of
    the Royal Strings ensemble. His involvement in multiple activities and
    honor societies speaks to his well-rounded excellence. After graduating
    high school, he hopes to attend Harvard and study law. Any school would
    be lucky to have such a bright young mind.
      What an incredible accomplishment and a shining example of New Jersey
    excellence. I Congratulate Sahli. He makes New Jersey proud.
