In 1978, the NAEA began the NAHS program specifically for high school students grades 10-12, for the purpose of inspiring and recognizing those students who have shown an outstanding ability in art. The NAHS also strives to aid members in working toward the attainment of their highest potential in art areas, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and community.
Here are some benefits of being in the NAHS:
� Your will become members of a distinguished group of approximately 23,000 art students nation-wide.
� Your NAHS students would be eligible for the Rising Star Secondary Recognition Award.
� An NAHS Senior would be eligible to compete for the Charles M. Robertson Memorial Scholarship - a special four-year scholarship to Pratt's School of Art and Design in New York.
� Participation in the NAHS, is a mark of accomplishment in the school and community and well recognized by the institutions when your students apply for entry into a college or university.
� You love art and want to participate in an organization that promotes the visual arts in your school and community!
� Seniors are eligible to earn honor cords to be worn at graduation.
