Involvement in the NHS is an exclusive responsibility, with students expected to continue to reflect society’s high standards, as well as serve the school and their fellow students as academic leaders, ambassadors, and tutors.

Science faculty member Dr. Claire Conboy played a pivotal role in determining the deep St. Thomas NHS participation in her second year as chapter advisor.

“This is significant prestige that demonstrates the depth of the academic achievement thriving within St. Thomas,” Dr. Conboy says. “We are about developing and nurturing our students to reach their potential not only through curriculum but as vibrant contributors to society. And this honor provides a guiding light for all our young men of what is attainable and what should be pursued.”

Previously, Wittman and Campbell Brown earned semifinalist acclaim in the 69th annual National Merit Scholarship Program while Mosley and Bocock were selected for the National African American Recognition Program.

Fonseca, Higginbotham, Martinez, Morfin, and Ramirez were among nine St. Thomas scholars were named to the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program.
