Kelly Michaels named NHS scholarship semi-finalist

Since the National Honor Society (NHS) was founded in 1921, members have been making a difference in their schools and communities.

The NHS Scholarship is the National Association of Secondary School Principal’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.

This year, for the first time in the Weatherly Area High School Chapter’s history, a member has been selected as an NHS Scholarship Semifinalist and will receive a $3,200 scholarship.

Kelly Michaels is the chapter vice-president, captain of the girls’ varsity volleyball and softball teams and cheer squad, president of the Student Government Association and the Kindness Club, vicepresident of the Interact Club and a member of the Envirothon and Science Olympiad teams.

Kelly has committed to DeSales University and was accepted into their accelerated Physician Assistant Program, where she will pursue her dream of a career as a physician assistant in the fall of 2023.
