NHS At the beginning of the year the National Honor Society started with twenty-one members. During the middle of the year there were about fifteen active members. The members of the National Honor Society all carry a number of characteristics that are the main reason for their being a part of the organization. These characteristics include, scholarship, leadership, character, contribution to the school and participation in school activities. In order to qualify as a member, each student must maintain a 3. 5 average or better in their Junior year and a 3.0 average or better in their Senior year. A car wash was held earlier in the year and was the main money raising activity to help finance the Honor Society's projects. The national Honor Society held meetings every other Wednesday to discuss different activities and policies around the school which the student lounge, the induction ceremony, and their trip to Chicago were a part. The Honor Society members are the backbone of the school. When something has to be done, the Honor Society people arc the first to get to work.
