National Honor Society
Our National Honor Society chapter is composed twenty-three senior and sixteen junior members who continue to exhibit the guiding principles of our National Honor Society chapter chartered in 1963: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Monthly meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month. Each member is required to complete two additional community service hours of his or her choice per month. The Society completes at least one group service project per month. Please download the pdfs on the right for further information. Scroll to the bottom of the page for a slideshow of projects and pictures. Members, submit your monthly volunteer report in our Google Classroom page.
Upcoming events include the following:
We will complete multiple projects in April for our month of service campaign.
May is our teacher appreciation project. Seniors will write notes for teachers, and juniors will be feeding the staff one day.
Please continue to collect pull tabs and mascara wands.
