Hey
#Seniors2019
: This will be your last first day of high school ever! Enjoy all of your “lasts” this year as you get ready to embark on a new journey!
As a high school honor society, we spend much of our time recognizing the best in our scholars and in our schools. Sometimes, we must stop and recognize all that our high school students must face. (thread)
If you’re on the line between two grades, showing a little more effort in class can make a huge difference. Don’t zone out at the end of the year. Participation matters!
“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” -Albert Einstein. Don’t let mistakes discourage you this year. They’re proof that you’re learning something new and challenging yourself.

to which you are applying, why you selected those colleges, and when the first deadline will arrive.
Many colleges and universities offer camps for high school students called pre-college summer programs which can help you get a feel for college life & give you ideas about what you’d like to study.

As many of you know, today is the last day to accept your invitation to join NSHSS! We're receiving a high volume of calls and emails today, so there may be a slightly longer hold time if you're calling in or wait on email responses. Congratulations to all of our new members!
