Do you know a future Jewish leader?

The American Hebrew Academy Honor Society is accepting nominations for eighth- and ninth-grade students who have shown excellence in academics, character, leadership and community service.

The society’s goal is to acknowledge bright, hard-working, well-rounded students who are nominated by school personnel, rabbis, Jewish community professionals, camp directors, counselors, coaches, and/or friends for membership in to the American Hebrew Academy Honor Society.

All Honor Society students will be able to compete for five (5) $20,000 annual merit-based scholarships to attend the American Hebrew Academy (Day students will be eligible to receive $10,000 annual merit-based scholarship). While students are encouraged to consider the Academy for their high school career, it is not a requirement for membership in the Honor Society.

“The American Hebrew Academy is a remarkable educational institution with an outstanding faculty and student body. Identifying terrific 8th and 9th grade students follows the school’s mission of shaping, inspiring, and creating the next generation of Jewish leaders,” said Leslie Grossman, the Academy’s admissions director.
