National Honor Society is an organization were students demonstrate leadership qualities and give back to the community.

On Wednesday, October 18, 2006, twenty-six students were initiated into National Honor Society. These students were selected by the staff and were evaluated on character, scholarship, leadership, and service.

For years, National Honor Society has given back to the community. The members of NHS plan to have a community service day in December to collect canned food.

The current president of National Honor Society is Hillary House. She is a senior and was initiated last year.

“I help organize meetings, fundraisers, t-shirts, the initiation and the Christmas drive,” she said.

NHS plans multiple activities throughout the year to give back to the community. Hillary explained some of the activities that will take place this year.

“The Christmas drive in December is when we go around the Garrett community and collect canned foods,” she said. “Each year we also participate in the March of Dimes.”

Hillary said she ran for the position of president

“because I thought it would be a good experience and fun.”

National Honor Society gives to the community and to the students of Garrett High School.
