Last Saturday, a group of local students and adults teamed up to clean the Rock Art Trail behind The Keller Pointe and K9 Pointe Dog Park (405 Rufe Snow Drive).

This group, led by artist Deborah Gatzke, tidied and washed painted rocks along a portion of the trail and used leaf blowers to clear the leaves, branches and other small debris that recent rainstorms left behind.

Thank you, Deborah, for organizing this effort. And thank you to all the National Honor Society, Boys Scouts and Green Cord volunteers. We really appreciate all of your help!

Our 2016 Digital Principal of the Year Winston Sakurai from Hawaii has a long history with NASSP and its two student organizations – National Student Council and NHS & NJHS – starting as early as 1990 when he traveled with a group of to the National Association of Student Councils' Annual Conference in Oregon. He was the Hawaii State Student Council president! Just look at the 1990s hairstyles in these pics.

But here's what makes this extra fun: 👀 check out the sponsor in the back right of this first photograph. That's NASSP CEO Ronn Nozoe's father, Walter, who served as district student council sponsor!

Congratulations, to our new inductees into the National Honor Society, inducted into Saint Mary's Chapter of NHS Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022, in a formal all-school ceremony in historic Eliza Battle Pittman Auditorium. The National Honor Society (NHS) elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921. Dr. Adam Holden, interim head of school, gave an inspirational keynote speech about pillars of leadership he learned from his experience in the British Royal Air Force including positive psychology, structured flexibility, focused determination, emotional intelligence, and moral courage.

Yesterday the NJHS students went to Fort Lauderdale Beach to do a clean up! They separated the trash from the recycling.

NHS & NJHS

Official page of The National Honor Society, NJHS, & NEHS. Founded & managed by NASSP. Territories, and Canada.

The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation's premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS). These charact

eristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921 and 1929. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in activities of the NHS and NJHS. NHS and NJHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service. History of the Organization

In 1921, NASSP officially established the National Honor Society. Though many local and regional honor societies existed prior to 1921, no nationwide organization had been founded. Under the leadership of Dr. Edward Rynearson, principal of the Fifth Avenue High School, Pittsburgh, Pa., the organization grew from the original Alpha Chapter at the Fifth Avenue School to more than 1,000 chapters by 1930. Equipped with a constitution, an emblem and motto, and a group of dedicated principals as coordinators, the new NHS organization quickly developed into one of the country's leading educational groups. Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: "To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools." (from the NHS Constitution) These purposes also translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local chapter. In 1929, the NASSP turned its attention to middle level schools and expanded the scope of its concern for recognizing outstanding students by establishing the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). With its own constitution and handbook, NJHS has established criteria that parallel the emphases found in the NHS with an added purpose to encourage citizenship. (Additional information on establishing a chapter of the NJHS is available upon request from the NASSP Department of Student Activities.) Both the NHS and NJHS are sponsored and supervised by NASSP which appoints a National Council - the controlling body of NHS. In addition, National Council members also serve as the selection committee for the prestigious NHS Scholarship which has been administered annually in schools with NHS chapters since 1946. The day-to-day administration of NHS national concerns is handled by the NASSP Department of Student Activities, headquartered in Reston, VA.

The members at Cypress Falls High School (Houston, TX) held a donation drive this winter to help community members and also honor their principal's late mom, Ms. Ruby 💎❤️.

NHS joined with Rho Kappa and the school's social studies department to collect items for a Thanksgiving meal and decorate and pack boxes, including $25 gift cards, for Ruby Baskets. Ms. Ruby, the mother of the school's principal, used to make baskets and deliver them to families in her community. When Ms. Ruby passed in 2016, NHS members honored her by continuing her tradition to make baskets for their community.

"For as long as I can remember, my mom would collect canned goods and items needed for a traditional Thanksgiving meal," Principal Becky Denton said. "We would then load them up and deliver them to some families who could use a little blessing. I remember this tradition since I was itty bitty until just shortly before mom passed. Special thanks to Cy-Falls National Honor Society and Rho Kappa for partnering with me this year. I am blown away at their generosity and love for me helping me keep this tradition alive."

The boxes were delivered in the community and the food items went to a local nonprofit for its Thanksgiving drive.

Members of the Morris High School (OK) chapter of got their entire school district involved in the success of their holiday project.

The chapter dubbed it Operation 100, a project with a goal of providing 100 Christmas boxes for Operation Christmas Child by Samaritan's Purse, an organization that delivers the gifts to children worldwide. The students garnered the involvement of elementary, middle and high school students by creating flyers requesting specific items from different grade levels. They also created an Amazon Prime wishlist and publicized it through social media accounts.

In the end, the chapter exceeded its goal, collecting 2,000 items for 115 boxes!

"It was a wonderful feeling to drop off the 115 boxes at the drop-off location," said NHS President Kylie Force.
