Presley Baesler, a Ponte Vedra High School student, has been selected to the Ambassador Leadership Program by the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). A role model to peers, Presley was selected out of hundreds of applicants for demonstrating strong academic achievement and a commitment to community service.
Each year, student members of NSHSS are invited to apply for leadership roles responsible for representing the Society in their schools and inspiring peers to become more involved in community activities. Participation in the NSHSS Ambassador Leadership Program is an opportunity for talented scholars to enhance their leadership skills by identifying a community or social need, actively becoming involved in volunteerism and helping others. NSHSS provides exclusive ambassador scholarships based upon their active participation in the program during their senior year.
The National Society of High School Scholars seeks to advance the goals and aspirations of high-achieving students through unique learning experiences, scholarships, internships, international study and peer networks. From attending the annual Nobel Week festivities in Stockholm, Sweden, to internships with major corporations and government agencies, pre-college summer study programs and more than $2,000,000 in scholarships awarded annually, NSHSS is continually seeking new ways to provide lifetime learning and growth opportunities for academically talented and accomplished student leaders, and the educators who support them.
“NSHSS pairs leadership education and skill development with community service to ensure a comprehensive experience for those chosen to participate in the Ambassador Leadership Program,” said Leslie Walton, manager of Society Leadership and Engagement at NSHSS. “Ambassadors participate in groups studying various leadership styles while networking with like-minded peers who are also developing and implementing service initiatives within their high school and community.”
