The National Society of High School Scholars recently announced that Rota High School student Charlie Ogo Atalig has been selected for membership in the society. The group recognizes top scholars in the nation and invites only those students who have achieved superior academic excellence.
The announcement was made by NSHSS founder and chair, Clacs Nobel, a senior member of the Nobel Prize family.
“On behalf of NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment that Charlie has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence,” said Nobel. “Charlie 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 the group’s vision is to build a dynamic international organization that connects members with meaningful content, resources, and opportunities.
“We aim to help students like Charlie build on their academic success and enhance the skills and desires to have a positive impact on the global community,” Lewis said.
Membership in NSHSS entitles qualified students 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.
Formed in 2002, the National Society of High School Scholars recognizes academic excellence at the high school level and encourages members of the organization to apply their unique talents, vision, and potential for the betterment of themselves and the world.
