The first of the Spring Nationals, the National High School Chess Championship, is fast approaching.  See http://www.uschess.org/tournaments/2015/hs/ for information and registration.  The early entry fee ($50) is available until March 9th.  The event will be held April 10-12 at the Hyatt Regency Columbus and the tournament's room block is going fast (over 80% already filled), so make your hotel reservation as soon as possible but no later than the group's cut-off date of March 13th

Two weeks after the first event, the National Junior High Chess Championship will take place on April 24-26 at the Galt House in Louisville.  The early tournament entry fee will be available until March 23rd.  The hotel group rate is available until March 30th, unless filled up sooner, but this one is going fast as well and is already close to 80% filled.  For more information about this Championship, please see http://www.uschess.org/tournaments/2015/jhs/
