Students who are eligible receive invitation letters in September to join our club. If students are interested, they must complete the application during the indicated time - applications are only accepted during this two-week period in late September. The purpose of Honor Society is to foster high academic achievement, to develop citizenship, to promote leadership, and to provide enrichment activities for its members. An Honor Society Board of Officers will be elected who will run the quarterly meetings, activities, and fall installation. As part of the citizenship aspect of Honor Society, members will participate in a service learning activity to help our school or community in some way. We will continue this year to explore new ways to contribute to our community. Additionally, those students that are active members in Honor Society by attending all meetings and participate in one or more of the club's service learning activities will be given the opportunity to participate in an educational field trip.
