I think it\u2019s a great accomplishment, and I&#8217;m very excited to see how far they go in life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitchem and Johnson said they were excited about the honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&#8220;I guess I was kinda surprised,\u201d Mitchem said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t expect to get it, but I worked really hard for it. I was surprised and happy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&#8220;I expected something,\u201d Johnson said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what I was expecting, though. I don&#8217;t know, the PSAT wasn&#8217;t very hard. I hope to do better on the real SAT.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to Andrew and Lucy for their academic accomplishments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EHS seniors are among the high-scorers on last fall&#8217;s PSAT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":4915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4902","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"czr-hentry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4902"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4902\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4954,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4902\/revisions\/4954"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.ehsfalconnews.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
