Tilghman Student Inducted into Academic Society

A local high school student has been accepted as a member of a national academic society.

The National Society of High School Scholars announced last week that Paducah Tilghman High School student Brooke Larimer has been selected to become a member of the organization. The Society recognizes top scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship and community commitment. The announcement was made by NSHSS Founder and Chairman Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes.

"On behalf of NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice and commitment that Brooke has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence," Nobel said. "Brooke is now a member of a unique community of scholars that represents our very best hope for the future."

"We are proud to provide lifetime membership to young scholars to support their growth and development," Said NSHSS President James W. Lewis. "We aim to help students like Brooke build on their academic success by connecting them with unique learning experiences and resources to help prepare them for college and meaningful careers."

NSHSS members automatically become lifetime members at the time of their initial membership.
