ADAMS, Mass. — The National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS) announced student Emily M Rivenburg from North Adams has been selected to become a member of the organization. 
 
The Society recognizes top scholars who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, scholarship, and community commitment. The announcement was made by NSHSS Co-founder and President James W. Lewis.
 
"On behalf of NSHSS and our co-founder Claes Nobel, a member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes, I am honored to recognize the hard work, passion, and commitment that Emily has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence," said Lewis.
