Hello National Honor Society warriors!
We hope this school year is off to a great start for you. Our first meeting of the school year is next week on Thursday, September 13th. You will be released after passing time and meet in the cafeteria. A full list of meeting dates for the year will be posted soon.
Remember to bring your service forms from the summer to the meeting.
Thank you!

Hello NHS warriors!
We were excited to have our first meeting as your new NHS officers.
During this meeting, we discussed volunteer opportunities. To see the volunteer opportunities, please check the VOLUNTEER menu bar. More information on the letter writing campaign is attached at the bottom of this post.
We now have a basket in Mrs. Smith’s room (E-5) where you can turn in hours. Seniors remember that next month is the last month to turn in your hours.
We also introduced our new committees. Thank you for signing up! Committees are a way for members to feel more like a part of a club, rather than just an honor roll. They look great on a college application!
Volunteer Committee: Ditte, Nicole, Pearl, Hailee
Inductions Committee: Pearl, Martin, Leina, Habiba, Shuyi
Please talk to an NHS Exec Member or send us an email so we can have your contact information. If you are interested but your name is not here just talk to us.
IMPORTANT: Inductions will begin at 6:30pm – 8pm on May 3rd. This is MANDATORY for all members to attend. We will be taking attendance there, and a no show will result in no medal senior year.
NOTE: Seniors, all hours are DUE at the April meeting on the 16th. NO EXEMPTION! All hours required must be in by then!
Below are the best ways to stay connected with NHS to stay updated with our meetings, volunteer opportunities, etc. If you any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us! Contact forms are located below the CONTACT menu bar!

Hello NHS Warriors!
We’re sorry we had to move the Friday meeting to a Valentine’s day but we wanted to keep you updated that this meeting was an important one, as well as our last meeting as officers.
Just a reminder that hours expiration is a real thing, and we will no longer accept any hour sheets that have expired within the next month of your service. We are doing this because we want to keep all members on the right track of getting your hours done and knowing who needs more opportunities in order to finish your requirements.
Hours Expiration: Hours are due a month from the date of hours you’ve done them.
As we have not fully enforced lately and were lenient, we are going to give a ONE time exception to all the services done in January. All the January hours can be turn in the March meeting. Therefore, all January and February hours need to be in by the March meeting on Monday, March 19th. Even though we have the status tab on the blog, we’re sending out a reminder slip every other month so that you’ll know how many hours you need left, completed, and are required. (EXCEPTIONS: Seniors will receive one this February and March and no more further on.)
IMPORTANT: Seniors and Juniors are to be present at the next MANDATORY CEREMONY for the next NHS inductees membership on Thursday, May 3rd 2018. A set time will be sent out later on the following month, but to give you an average, it’ll be around 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Attendance will be checked, so please be there. This is a MANDATORY, we repeat. No show will result in no medal your Senior year.
At this meeting, we discussed more volunteer opportunities as well give all members an opportunity to voice your opinion in the bylaws and what you don’t agree with it so that we can make the Society better. To see more Volunteer opportunities, please check the Volunteer tab.
As we’ve said in the beginning, this Valentine’s day was our last meeting we hosted, and at the next meeting, you be guide by your new 2018 officers, class of 2019 Paul Mitalipov, Nathan Hernandez, Maria Truong, Cooper Lee, and Nyah Songster.
Our most recent meeting was ELECTIONS!
Thank you to all our participating nominees for all your intelligent, strong words!
Here are the results for the incoming 2018-19 NHS Officers:
President — Paul Mitalipov
Vice President — Nathan Hernandez
Secretary — Maria Truong

Public Relations — Nyah Songster
Congratulations to our incoming officers! We are excited to see all that they accomplish!

Please keep in mind:
SENIORS: hours are due before April 16th! You must complete 48 hours before the 16th in order to receive your medal.

NHS members –
Thank you to all members who were able to attend the meeting today! For those who were unable to attend due to various circumstances, here is a summary of the meeting!
Today’s meeting was based around scholarship, one of the four NHS pillars. Many of our members are seniors and since it is around the time that seniors are applying and getting ready for college, we had Ms. Bondra stop by to talk to us about different resources, scholarships, and other important college information. Here are some of the main points she discussed:
For volunteer opportunities:
HOMECOMING SET UP:
