RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS

"Receiving this grant from NSHSS is a great honor that directly supports my mission to bring science to life for my students. After 26 years in the classroom, I am convinced that when we lead with wonder—using phenomena-based storylines to anchor our learning—students don't just learn biology; they become scientists. This support allows me to continue breaking down barriers to engagement and academic success in AP Biology. Curiosity is the spark that ignites change. Thank you, NSHSS, for investing in that spark and empowering the next generation of scholars to explore, question, and impact the world."

"I am deeply grateful for the the NSHSS grant awarded to my class.

"I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for awarding me the $500 School Cash Club Grant for 2024, Wave 1. I am truly honored to receive this support from such a prestigious organization. I am particularly excited about using these funds to purchase books for my students, enabling me to continue our book club over the summer following the 2024-2025 school year. By encouraging students to keep reading during the break, I aim to foster their love of literature and help prevent any loss of reading skills. Again, Thank you for your generosity and for supporting my efforts to promote literacy and a lifelong love of reading among students."
