Seniors:

This year in order to recognize all students who have distinguished themselves academically, we have decided to make a change to the Honor cord requirements. Beginning with this year’s graduating class, all seniors who wish to buy and wear an Honor cord at graduation must be a member of the National Honor Society.  Many students are already members of NHS, for those that are not, it is not too late to join. The requirements for NHS membership are:

§  a 3.3 GPA

§  no serious disciplinary history (‘serious’ being an indecent that has resulted in a suspension, in-school or out of school).

§  recommendation by 4 faculty members

§  attendance at the Spring Induction ceremony

§  $10 dues (this pays for the student’s national registration)

The Spring Induction ceremony will be held in late March.  Applications, with deadlines, will be made available in early March through the advisors, Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Sandfer.

Hey fall & spring athletes:  If you need a spring season warm up – there will be Open Gym starting from 7-9pm @ Thunder Mountain.  If you have any questions, please contact Anna DeGroot. (note the time change – now 7:00PM-9-00PM)
