Parents or Guardians of 9th, 10th and 11th Graders RE: "The National Society of High School Scholars" letter you may have received about your child's academic performance. I found this article you might be interested in that seems to be a balanced explanation of this "for profit" NSHSS honors company. In my opinion it sounds like they're taking advantage of students & parents & have no oversight or board that actually meets, so this could be termed a scam by some. There's no date posted on this article but I read other sights as well, more than not saying they should be avoided. They've made 3 million on fees while awarding only $60,000 in scholarships. Not a very balanced distribution of funds. Read the article & also do your own research. Respond at your own risk & buyer beware! http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0304/HS_recognition.asp Sincerely, Deborah Magone-Fragale VP Greece Athena High School PTSA |
