Members meet every other Wednesday in the morning. Julie Ender, NHS supervisor, states, "We have 36 senior members and are currently in the process of sending invitations out to the juniors."
Only upper classmen are allowed to be involved with NHS. However, not every junior and senior will be invited. "Members need to have a 3.0 grade point average or higher," said Ender. Also, each member needs to volunteer twenty hours of their time to a local company or organization.
The National Honor Society voted on officers Friday, October 22nd. The four officers are all seniors and include: Nicole Desmidt (President), Brook Sullivan (Vice President), Kayla Kelsey (Secretary) and Anna Moorhead (Treasurer). "We have a good group of seniors this year, who will do a fine job as our officers," stated Ender.
Throughout the year, members are involved in numerous community projects. "Our first project that we will be working on is Cardboard Village," offered Ender. For Cardboard Village, members raise money that goes to Habitat for Humanity. Each member must raise fifty dollars or more to participate. Once this goal is met, NHS members camp overnight in the high school parking lot with just their cardboard boxes.
Once Cardboard Village raps up, the National Honor Society will do other various projects, one of which is Ender's favorite. "Academic Assembly would have to be my favorite," explains Ender. During this assembly, all of the high schools' clubs and organizations are recognized. "It acknowledges kids who don't usually get recognition. I also love how loud and noisy it gets!" said Ender.
National Honor Society members are looking forward to another exciting and eventful year. If you wish to learn more about what NHS is involved in, stop by at room 410 and talk to Julie Ender.
