NSHSS Student Council 2007-08
We are pleased to introduce our Student Council members
for the 2007-08 academic year. These outstanding college
students give advice based on their own experiences and offer
information on Society programs, scholarships, and activities
throughout the upcoming year. Membership on the Student Council
provides an important leadership opportunity beyond high school.
Members graduating from high school in 2008 will be eligible to
apply for next year's Council. We are especially pleased
to include a "senior council" of previous council members who
are continuing to serve and provide advise to members as well as
new council members. To contact a student council member, send your email message
to
studentcouncil@nshss.org and be sure to include
the council member's name in the subject line of the email
message.

Patrick Lee
South Barrington, IL
Yale University
Patrick Lee received a Griffith College Scholarship for
NSHSS members to attend a university of their choice.
He was his class valedictorian and was selected as one of 20
students chosen national for USA Today's All-USA
Academic First Team and also was named a Wendy's High School
Heisman National Finalist. Read Patrick's
account of his Heisman Finalist experience in New York.
Patrick is the first generation in his family have been born
in the U.S. and has developed a synthesis of his parents'
cultural values and his own "new age" ones. "I believe
that I have a unique perspective that can help others in
similar paths navigate the labyrinth of high school.. . . .
I will be able to put the lessons I have learned to good use
not as someone preaching the 'right' way to do things, but
as an idealistic college freshman hoping to make a positive
impact, even if it is one person and one email at a time."
