Something Different Although not new, the National Honor Society took on new dimensions this year. They accomplished this by expanding the tutoring program to a magnitude not reached in past years. The program was the Society’s main service project for the school and helped members meet the service criteria of the club. Help in every subject was given to those who requested it. The successful program helped more students survive their classes than in any other year. Akatlemia Cluhmania Academics transcend the classroom. Students could take academic skills and interests to extra-curricular organizations. The National Honor Society required its members to maintain a 3.3 grade average. Society projects enabled members to cultivate character, leadership, and service qualities and skills.
