high school students. Students are nominated by high
school principals and guidance counselors, national

in extracurricular activities. Traditionally, 99% of
Who’s Who students have a grade point average of “B” or
better and 97% are college bound.
The 36th Annual Edition of Who’s Who Among American
High School Students, 2001-2002, published in 18

of teen attitudes. The book is distributed on a
