The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) announced last November student Rocco J. Coovert has been selected to become a member of the esteemed organization.  The Society recognizes top scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship, and community commitment.  The announcement was made by NSHSS Co-founder and President James W. Lewis.

"On behalf of NSHSS and our co-founder Claes Nobel, a member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes, I am honored to recognize the hard work, passion, and commitment that Rocco has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence," said Lewis.  "Rocco is now a member of a unique community of scholars -- a community that represents our very best for the future."

We are proud to provide lifetime membership to young scholars to support their growth and development," stated Lewis.  "We help students like Rocco build on their academic success by connecting them with learning experiences and resources to help prepare them for college and meaningful careers."

NSHSS members automatically  become lifetime members at the time of their initial membership.  Each step along the way -- from high school to college to career - NSHSS connects outstanding young scholars with the resources they need to develop their strengths and pursue their passions.
