history
Our Story

NCHSA was founded by Navadeep Budda at Lambert High School in Suwanee, Georgia. As a high school student, Navadeep noticed that there was little high school involvement in shaping cybersecurity policy and education. That’s when he decided to start NCHSA. Today, we’re a nationwide community of high schoolers with a goal of making real change in cybersecurity.

Navadeep Budda

Hi, I’m Navadeep Budda, founder of the National Cybersecurity High School Association (NCHSA) and a student at Lambert High School in Suwanee, GA. I started NCHSA because I saw a need for high school representation in cybersecurity. In the past, I created our school’s Cybersecurity Club, participated in many tech competitions, and pursued my interest in cybersecurity. I’m excited to work with like-minded students and help shape the future of the sector!
