Meet Your New Student Council

We are pleased to introduce our Student Council members for the 2007-2008 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 also fortunate that several member of our 2006-07 Council wish to continue to serve as senior council members, and both our new Council members and our student members should benefit from their invaluable advice. Our new Council members come from around the world, from New York to California, and from Mexico to Japan.

John Zhou with Claes Nobel at Scholar's Day Celebration

Meet your Student Council here.

Continuing Council Member John Zhou, Harvard sophomore, is one of our hardest working mentors. He spoke to members at our annual Scholar's Day Celebration in Washington, D.C., in the U.S. Senate Caucus Room and has created a website with other young scholars to offer great advice for college-bound students on a variety of topics. He has designed this resource to complement the NSHSS mission to help young and talented students excel and to develop their gifts. Read some of John's tips from his Scholar's Day remarks.

John writes, "I have recently created a website made by myself and other top students around the nation which brings the brightest young minds in the nation to mentor younger students. The website name is Scholar Holler and the URL is http://scholarholler.com. I think it's a very exciting idea and members of the online community will receive advice on a variety of topics including on academics, college admissions, contests, research, scholarships, test preparation, etc. Moreover, there is real, live interactions online between students and students/mentors. Best of all, all the information is available for free and I've already been told that it's a resource that many students wish had been available sooner to help them through their years of scholarship."
