The National Honor Society (NHS) announced Monday that Peyton Magee, a high school senior at Fairfield Local and member of the NHS, has been selected as an NHS Scholarship semifinalist. This prestigious honor has earned Magee a $3,200 scholarship award.
Since 1946, more than $21 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 the NHS, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
In the 100-plus 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.
“Peyton is the epitome of a well-rounded student,” NHS chapter adviser Kristi Welling said. “She is self-motivated, dependable and a leader in and outside of the classroom. Her efforts and accomplishments academically and athletically are astounding.
“We’re so proud to say that Peyton is a Fairfield Lion. Congratulations, Peyton.”
Peyton is the daughter of Eric and Tonya Magee. This fall, she will attend Tiffin University to study health care administration.
