National Honor Society (NHS)

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

Teen Trendsetters

Teen Trendsetter is a national organization funded by the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.  High school students who are willing to volunteer for one hour each week are paired with elementary students who are struggling in reading.  The goal of this meeting is to improve reading skills and scores, build confidence, provide opportunity to read more often and develop a love of reading.  Mentoring students guide their mentees as they read and work through lessons provided by the program.  High school students are trained to use the materials and provided guidelines for behavior during the reading sessions. The elementary student develops confidence and reading skills; the high school student receives volunteer hours plus the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping another child.
