Lake Crystal, MN – The National Honor Society (NHS) announced that Kiera Kirchner, a high school senior at Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial Secondary and member of NHS, has been selected as an NHS Scholarship semifinalist and the recipient of a $3,200 NHS Scholarship.

Since 1946, more than $25 million in scholarships have been awarded to outstanding NHS senior members to support college access and student success. The scholarship program is supported by the parent organization of NHS, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).

In the 100+ years since NHS was founded in 1921, members have been making a difference in their schools and communities, and the NHS Scholarship is NASSP’s way of recognizing the most exceptional of these student leaders. Recipients are chosen based on their demonstrated work to support the four pillars of NHS: scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

At LCWM, Kiera embodies integrity, leadership, and ethical values, inspiring those around her to strive for excellence. Kirchner has served as NHS Chapter President, her local 4-H Chapter President, and Red Cross Coordinator for our school hosted blood drives. At this time, she is still undecided where she will attend this fall.
