 The National Society of High School Scholars
is an honor society that was founded by Mr. Claes Nobel, whose family established the world-renowned Nobel Prizes that reward individuals and organizations for world betterment. NSHSS was established to highlight the accomplishments of students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship, and community commitment, as well as to foster their continued success. Its mission is to recognize academic excellence among high school students and to encourage members to apply their unique talents, vision, and potential for the betterment of themselves and the world.
