Alyse Lysgaard Accepted for Membership into the Laurel Springs Chapter of the National Honor Society

This is due to her excellent academic standing (GPA of 4.0 this year), personal essay, and character references.

From the Laurel Springs Website
Laurel Springs School is proud to be the first private school offering distance-learning curricula to establish a chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS). Membership in the NHS is an honor which recognizes academic achievement and service within the community, as well as personal character and leadership. The Laurel Springs Chapter of the National Honor Society provides a unique forum in which the student leaders of our school and community can join with others in their desire to change the world. Our students give life and vigor to the well known phrase by Sir Wilfred Grenfell, "Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worthwhile."

Letter from Jill and Kent Lysgaard
On a personal note, Kent and I would like to thank Ryan, Billy, Adam, and the Coaches at Hilton Academy for sponsoring a great environment for our daughter, Alyse. The educational expectations that are required of her to attend the home school portion of the Academy were definitely a part of her successful academic year. In addition, the personal and leadership skills that are requested (and expected) to which each member of the Academy displays and aspires have instilled a sense of pride and self-confidence in Alyse that is priceless! We appreciate each and every one of you for your interest in the dreams and welfare of not only Alyse, but the other children's lives that you touch!
