Millis High School Student Awarded Prestigious National Honor Society Scholarship

The National Honor Society (NHS) announced that Mirola Arian, a high school senior at Millis High School and member of NHS, has been selected as an NHS Scholarship semifinalist.
 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 NHS, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
 In the 100+ 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.
 “There is no question that Mirola embodies the four pillars of the National Honor Society in the work she does each and every day both at Millis High School and in the community,” said Millis High School Principal, Mark Awdycki.  “She is a leader in every sense of the word, a role model for her peers, and incredibly deserving of this NHS scholarship.”
 At Millis High School, Arian has earned several honors including the University of Vermont Citizen Scholar Award and the Piaget Award for Excellence in AP Psychology.  She is a candidate for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, as one of a small number of students chosen to move forward in the competition from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  Arian is STEAM Scholar and the Social Media Director for the Chemistry Club. She is also the president of the Peer Leader’s club, a member of the Millis High School chapter of the National Honor Society, a member of the School Council, and a part of the JED High School team at MHS.  This past summer, she worked as director for the Coptic Summer BLAST program.  She is currently weighing her options for college this fall, with a plan to study either health science or neuroscience at her chosen institution.
