Message from
Mr. Nobel

We are very pleased to announce our new Board of Advisors – a panel of individuals who stand out as remarkable role models in their respective fields.

Our board members have achieved success in a variety of areas on the national and international stage from politics to entertainment, from sports to education. They have joined our board in order to connect with and to share their passions and interests with a new generation of outstanding young leaders.

The Society will benefit from their feedback and inspiration as both the board and our members scale new heights in the future.

BRAIN FLOSS

"E Pluribus Unum or How to Win Friends, Influence People, and Sound Smarter through Latin"

NSHSS proudly announces partnerships with educational organizations that can provide valuable information, assistance, and programs to our members.

Presidential Classroom
Many of our members have participated in and written to us about their experiences in Presidential Classroom. The Washington D.C. program is often a turning point in a student’s life, offering exposure to Washington leaders, media, and students from all over the globe. With our new partnership, NSHSS members are eligible for a $100 discount on PC programs, program tuition scholarship competition for our members, and a college scholarship competition to members who have participated in the program.

EF Foundation
EF Foundation for Foreign Study is the world’s largest organization that provides international study. NSHSS members can apply to become EF Student Representatives to help ease the culture shock and transition of foreign students studying in America. EF is also sponsoring a college scholarship competition for NSHSS members who become EF Student Representatives.

Projects Abroad
Projects Abroad offers volunteer opportunities in countries you may never expect to visit, where you can make a real difference right before your eyes. Two of our members participating this summer will act as “foreign correspondents,” reporting their experiences in Russia and Nepal. PA offers NSHSS members and their families a 10% discount on all programs, even beyond graduation from high school.
