RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OUTSTANDING EDUCATORS

"I am grateful to NSHSS for awarding me this grant, which will play a vital role in helping me continue to enhance my work with students. This opportunity allows me to further develop the skills necessary to create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment. Being part of this community has shown me the power of encouragement, support, and resources in breaking down barriers and achieving academic success. I hope my journey inspires others—whether students or fellow educators—to pursue their goals with determination and to believe in their potential to make a meaningful impact."

"I am deeply honored and grateful to have been selected for the $1,000 STEAM Educator Grant. This award greatly boosts my efforts to foster a love for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics among my students. Your recognition and support affirm the importance of our work in education and inspire me to continue pushing boundaries in STEAM learning. The grant will greatly enhance my ability to implement innovative projects and provide valuable resources for my classroom. I am excited to channel this funding into initiatives that will engage and inspire the next generation of innovators. Thank you for believing in my work's impact and investing in the future of education. Your generosity will make a significant difference in my students’ learning experiences. I look forward to sharing the positive outcomes and successes that arise from this grant. Once again, thank you for your support and for making this opportunity possible."

"A fellow teacher introduced me to NSHSS. She was awarded a $1000 grant from the organization and spoke with great admiration about her experience. Last school year I applied for a grant but was not successful. After reading about other candidates experience with NSHSS, I was encouraged to apply again this school year. I was excited to receive the email of me being a successful recipient of the grant. I am grateful of the honor. I will share my experience with other teachers and encourage them to also join the organization."

'I am excited to be a recipient of the educators' professional development grant. There are so many great educator conferences, but I cannot afford to attend if my district is not covering the cost. Being a member of NSHSS allows educators the opportunity to pursue additional professional development too."

"We are beyond grateful for this opportunity! This is the 1st time that we've utilized this platform and the ease of the application, along with the entire experience has been absolutely a blessing! I'm so glad to be a part of this amazing journey!"

"I would like to thank NSHSS, DePaul College Prep, and all of my students for inspiring me to become the best teacher, coach, and colleague I can be. I feel so fortunate to be part of a community committed to honoring the inherent dignity of all people."

"I am very appreciative of NHSS! My first experience with the group was as a high school student but was reintroduced when a student nominated me for Educator of Distinction in my 8th year of teaching. I have since applied for grants and have received much-needed funding for my dance classes. NHSS has been a wonderful resource for me as an educator."

"Being named the Educator Coach of the year for 2020 by the National Society for High School Scholars has reaffirmed my hard work and dedication to students over the past 35 years of my teaching career. Receiving the $5,000 grant in the midst of the COVID–19 Pandemic has definitely been a blessing since it arrived at a time when it was desperately needed. I am thankful and humbled to have received such an outstanding honor from such a prestigious organization."

"Thank you, NSHSS, for helping to provide the tools needed to make my classroom a fun and effective place to learn and grow!"
