Marietta, GA - Hickory Hills Elementary School recently nominated five students to the National Young Scholars Program (NYSP). The National Young Scholars Program is designed and created specifically for the nation's most outstanding third, fourth and fifth grade students. The five Hickory Hills Elementary students nominated for NYSP are Zakiah Morrow, Race Pohlkamp, Liam MacPherson, Tazz Wiley, and Trinitee Rogers. Students nominated to NYSP demonstrate leadership potential, maturity and academic excellence.

“These students were nominated by teachers and administration because they exemplify the qualities that an outstanding student and leader should have,” states Diana Mills, principal of Hickory Hills Elementary. “Any of these students, if selected for the National Young Scholars Program, are most deserving.”

Students chosen for the National Young Scholars Program attend a leadership academy in July 2010. NYSP offers a six-day residential program that includes overnight accommodations, all meals and 24-hour supervision, or a day program, depending on location.
