Nick See is currently a junior at Country Day where he has attended since 9th Grade. He is the co-founder of his school’s Students for Political Action Club, which promotes students’ discussions about current events and politics. Additionally, he is a member of his school’s chapter of the National Honor Society and Cum Laude Society. Over the summer of 2016, he wrote a research paper on Lincoln’s Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton and hopes that it will be published in The Concord Review, a historical journal that showcases the work of high school students. He plans to study history in college and pursue a career as a history professor at the university level. At Let’s Learn NOLA, he is excited to share his passion with the campers and foster a love for the study of history.

John Wisdom is a junior who has been attending Country Day since kindergarten. John is the president and founder of the school’s history club which focuses on American History through presentations, guest speakers, and field trips.

John wishes to extend that passion to the campers and help to create an academic niche in the field of American history.
