Local Los Lunas student receives national honor

The National Society of High School Scholars announced Sarah Myers, of Los Lunas, has been selected to become a member of the esteemed organization.

The society recognizes top scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship and community commitment.

Myers attends Legacy Academy in Albuquerque, and has been since preschool. She will be a senior this year, and is looking forward to it with much enthusiasm and excitement.

“To be selected to become a member of the NSHSS is truly an amazing honor to my school, family and to myself,” Myers said.

“On behalf of NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice and commitment that Sarah has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence,” said NSHSS Founder and Chairman Claes Nobel, a senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes. “Sarah is now a member of a unique community of scholars — a community that represents our very best hope for the future.”

NSHSS members automatically become lifetime members at the time of their initial membership. At each step along the way — from high school to college to career — NSHSS connects young scholars with the resources they need to develop their strengths and pursue their passions.
