Red Bay's Russell selected for membership in esteemed organization

The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) has announced that student Emma Russell from Red Bay 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. 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 Emma has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence,” said Nobel. "Emma is now a member of a unique community of scholars–a community that represents our very best hope for the future.” 

Said NSHSS president James W. Lewis, “We are proud to provide lifetime membership to young scholars to support  their growth and development. We aim to help students like Emma 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. At each step along the way–from high school to college to career–NSHSS connects outstanding young scholars with resources they need to develop their strengths and pursue their passions. 

Emma is the daughter of LouAnn Francis and Rodney Russell.
