Bristol Township High School Senior Racking Up Accolades

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA — Hazel Pringle is winding down her high school days and thinking about the bigger picture.

The senior at Harry S. Truman High School has racked up the accolades in the past few years as she works her way toward a potential career in nursing.

Two years ago, the 19-year-old Pringle was recognized for superior academic achievement by The National Society of High School Scholars.

"On behalf of NSHSS and our co-founder Claes Nobel, a member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes, I am honored to recognize the hard work, passion, and commitment that Hazel has demonstrated to achieve this exceptional level of academic excellence," NSHSS Co-founder and President James W. Lewis said. "Hazel is now a member of a unique community of scholars — a community that represents our very best hope for the future."

"We are proud to provide lifetime membership to young scholars to support their growth and development," Lewis stated. "We help students like Hazel build on their academic success by connecting them with learning experiences and resources to help prepare them for college and meaningful careers."

Besides being a high school senior in the school district's Cyber Academy, Pringle has dual enrollment as a student at Bucks County Community College.

At BCCC, Pringle is taking courses in microeconomics and nutrition.

She graduates from Harry S. Truman High School in June.

Pringle was also selected as a College Board BigFuture Ambassador for the Spring 2026 semester, where she promotes college access resources and scholarship awareness among peers.

She's also actively involved in student leadership, fundraising initiatives, and community engagement throughout high school.

"I would say my persistence, diligence, and my faith are my three foundations," said Pringle, who has two other siblings. "I'm very blessed. My mother has tremendously helped me a lot."

Pringle told Patch that she wants to pursue a career in public health or nursing.

She's recently been accepted to several universities for next fall, Fall 2026, including the University at Buffalo, Temple University, West Chester University, and Montclair State University.

The University at Buffalo has awarded her the Provost Scholarship, a merit-based award totaling $72,000, valued at $18,000 per year for up to four years. This scholarship recognizes top applicants for academic achievement and leadership potential.
