Kagman High School student Caleb Canice T. Gatharngeg has been accepted for full membership to the National Society of High School Scholars.
Gatharngeg, son of Melissa and Caleb Sr., joins the rest of the nation’s finest high school students. The Society only recognizes the top scholars in the nation and invites only those who have achieved superior academic excellence.
Claes Nobel, NSHSS founder and chairman and a senior member of the Nobel Prize family, announced Gatharngeg’s selection.
“On behalf of NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment that Caleb Canice has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence,” Nobel said in a statement.
He said the 16-year-old is now a member of a “unique” community of scholars, “a community that represents our very best hope for the future.”
NSHSS president James Lewis said it is the group’s vision to build a dynamic international organization that connects members with meaningful content, resources, and opportunities that would help students like Gatharngeg achieve academic successes and enhance the skills and desires to have a positive impact on the global community.
Gatharngeg, like many other member scholars, is now qualified to enjoy a wide variety of benefits, including scholarship opportunities, academic competitions, free events, member-only resources, publications, participation in programs offered by educational partners, online forums, personalized recognition items, and publicity honors.
Gatharngeg is the eldest of three children. He is expected to finish high school next year. He also belongs to the 2005-2006 Who’s Who Among American High School Students.
His mom Melisa said she and her husband are very proud of their son.
