Welcome Back Huskies!

WOW, time for another great year, which we hope will be our best yet!  Although we try to have fun in the community, students will strive to uphold the traditions of scholarhip, character, service and leadership established by NHS members in the past.  We try to hold current fundraising and communitty service opportunities for our members as well as the communitty.  So strive for your best and have some fun with NHS!

• Mission Statement 

The Hamilton High School National Honor Society strives to recognize and encourage academic achievement while also developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy.

• General Meeting Dates

The first general meeting will be on August 24, 2006 during conference hour, of course.  But, but, but, but....NO pass is needed to get into the auditorium, where all of our general meetings are held, because the NHS team will send out an announcement allowing everyone who needs to leave access to the auditorium!

• Commitee Meeting Dates

Committees will be chosen during the first general meeting, in which a member of NHS gets to pick out the four committees which one they wish to be in during the year.  The committees are: fundraising, tutoring, community service, and attendance.  It must be noted that there will be separate commitee meetings held in a designated classroom for each assigned commitee.
