The National Society of High School Scholars recently invited a Gilbert High student to join its group of exceptional academic and community leaders.

Madisyn P. Mears, a sophomore at GHS this year, received her invitation to NSHSS in July.

“On behalf of the NSHSS, I am honored to recognize the hard work, sacrifice and commitment that Madisyn has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence,” said NSHSS Co-founder and Chairman Claes Nobel.

Along with a lifetime membership, NSHSS provides students with unique learning experiences and resources to help them prepare for college and career. NSHSS currently features more than 1 million members in 170 countries.
