Since 1946, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) has awarded scholarships to outstanding National Honor Society (NHS) seniors. Each year, scholarship recipients are selected based on their demonstration of the four pillars of NHS: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. National Honor Society empowers and equips students with the knowledge and skills to be transformative leaders, ultimately empowering them to make profound, enduring contributions in their school, community and beyond.
“These phenomenal NHS students are on the cusp of graduating with the highest honors and will leave behind a legacy of servant leadership that has transformed their schools and communities,” said NASSP President Aaron Huff. “During their time in NHS, they have sought to address important issues—and they’ve done so with enthusiasm and determination.”
