There are over 43,000 US and international high schools in the Merit network. Every time you publish an achievement you have the ability to connect with high school principals and guidance counselors.
How it Works
Merit uses students' high school CEEB codes to match them up to the high school they graduated from. Including these CEEB codes when upload your students into Merit will ensure that every achievement you send can be shared with their high school. The principals and guidance counselors from these high schools will receive an email alert at the end of the week if any of their alumni were recognized through Merit achievements.
