RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS

"I am beyond grateful to NSHSS for awarding me the Special Education grant. This grant is an incredible support for my Theatre program and will make a meaningful impact in the lives of my students. Thank you NSHSS for your commitment to arts education and for believing in the power of theatre to transform lives. I can't wait to put this grant to work in my inclusive Theatre Productions class and I look forward to sharing the results of your investment with our community."

"I can't wait to share this wonderful news with the amazing student leaders of our school's Model United Nations (MUN)! This NSHSS grant will enable our group to attend more conferences. My students are enthusiastic and driven. They are also not your typical MUN club. My students will be the first in their families to attend college. Often, our students are the only African American or Latinx students at the conferences we attend. I support MUN because it fosters diplomacy, and an understanding of international issues, and encourages young people to become global citizens. On a personal note, attending MUN conferences also gives my students the space to meet and interact with academically motivated young people, something of a precursor to the students they will encounter in college."

"I am deeply honored to receive the NSHSS School Supplies Grant, which will have a significant impact on the students and educators at my school. This grant provides us with the opportunity to improve access to much-needed educational resources, fostering a more engaging and equitable learning environment for all. I am grateful for the support from NSHSS, and I encourage fellow educators and students to continue striving toward their goals. Through opportunities like this, we can all work together to make a lasting difference in our communities and the world. Thank you, NSHSS, for your belief in the power of education and for helping us create a brighter future."

"NSHSS provides numerous opportunities for students and educators to receive the resources they need to implement innovative teaching in their classroom."

"I am very grateful for this grant. I feel blessed to be able to do what I love, and love what I do! Music education is invaluable now, more than ever. I will continue my efforts to improve, enhance, promote, and grow, our Music Program."

"I am incredibly grateful to have just received the NSHSS $1000 STEAM Educator Grant. This grant is an invaluable resource that will help me enhance the learning experience for my students in ways I couldn’t have imagined before. With this support, I am eager to introduce new, engaging projects that will deepen my students' interest in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. Receiving this grant has not only motivated me to push boundaries in the classroom but has also reinforced my belief that we, as educators, are capable of inspiring the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and leaders. I look forward to implementing these exciting new ideas, and I want to express my sincere thanks to NSHSS for believing in my vision and supporting educators like myself. This grant is a powerful reminder that organizations like NSHSS play a crucial role in shaping the future of education, and I am honored to be a part of that journey."

"I am truly grateful for the support and opportunities provided by NSHSS. As an educator and counselor, NSHSS has allowed me to serve students while demonstrating my passion for excellence and achievement. NSHSS has been instrumental in fostering a culture of academic excellence and personal growth among students, empowering them to reach their full potential and make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. The organization's dedication to recognizing and supporting me is truly commendable, and I am honored to be a part of this organization. Receiving the grant from NSHSS has been a tremendous honor and a testament to the organization's commitment to supporting educators. This grant not only provides financial support but also serves as a reaffirmation of the importance of education and the value of investing in educators."

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

'Thank you for this opportunity to use the grant funds to continue the pursuit of my EdD in Educational Policy and Organizational Leadership. This degree is deepening my understanding of myself as an educator and how I can directly impact change in the communities I serve."
