Today's Cool School is Episcopal School of Acadiana. ESA seniors Emma Gombos and Anil Cacodcar have been named semifinalists in the U.S. Presidential Scholars Competition.

Out of over three and a half million seniors across the country, these two are among only 620 to make it to the final round, and only 161 Presidential Scholars will be chosen this spring.
