RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS

"NSHSS is incredible. They are at the forefront of supporting schools, students, and educators. Having a group that truly cares about equity and access for students to achieve is praiseworthy in a world where people don't always see the value in education."

“I want to thank the Scholarship & Grants committee for selecting me for this incredible honor! As a teacher, I went into the profession because I wanted to make a difference in students’ lives and create positive change. Through the application process, this recognition has helped me to reflect on my years as an educator and the impact I am making every day to my students and the community. I am truly humbled by being selected as the 2022 Claes Nobel Educator of the Year from a pool of other educators that are also doing incredible things in their schools. Thank you!”

"Dear NSHSS, I want to thank you for providing this grant to help my students in the BSU and ASU so they may continue their work in cultivating a sense of belonging for students of all identities at our school. It warms my heart to know that NSHSS truly sees the value in investing in our youth. Please keep making dreams come true and never cease pouring into our greatest natural resource, our youth!"

"Thank you, NSHSS, for helping to provide the tools needed to make my classroom a fun and effective place to learn and grow!"

"Receiving this grant from the National Society of High School Scholars is truly an honor and a powerful affirmation of the work we do as educators. It's not just the financial support, though that is incredibly appreciated, but the recognition that our dedication to students and their success matters. This award is a reminder that the passion we pour into our classrooms and communities resonates beyond the school walls. This grant will allow me to bring cutting-edge technology into my classroom and expand our community outreach programs while exposing my students to a world of endless possibilities. I'm excited to use these resources to further empower my students, providing them with the tools and experiences they need to become tomorrow's leaders and innovators. To the future scholars who are working tirelessly to make a difference: your efforts are seen and valued. Keep pushing boundaries, keep pursuing your passions, and never underestimate the impact you can have on the world. This award is a testament to the fact that hard work and dedication are recognized, and they pave the way for a brighter future. Thank you, NSHSS, for investing in educators and inspiring the next generation of scholars"

"The FHS Journalism & Newsletter Club, Sails & Stories, extends its heartfelt gratitude to the NSHSS Club Cash Grant for their generous support. With this grant, our students now have the exciting opportunity to pursue their passion for writing, giving them a platform to express their voices and share their perspectives. This support has been instrumental in establishing Sails & Stories this year, allowing students to engage meaningfully in journalism and develop their talents. Thank you for empowering our students and making this club possible!"

"Thank you, NSHSS, for support public school students and our Habitat for Humanity Club! I believe that the service-learning trips that our club takes to the Mississippi Delta provide one of our school's best educational experiences for students. Testimonials from the kids are always overwhelmingly positive and often very moving. These grants make a big difference!"

"Thank you so much for providing funds to support our second year of this important trip. We are very grateful."

"Thank you for this generous grant. Our district is suffering a major budget crisis and these funds will help my students not feel the brunt of this. Our class can still continue our amazing activities because of this grant!"
