Reminder of NHS Pillars:

Scholarship: A commitment to academic excellence which requires dedication to learning through always doing our best work, refraining from cheating, and helping other students achieve academic excellence through our help.

 

Service: A commitment to the community which requires working with adults and peers to improve our community, sacrificing our time to help those in need, and working for the benefit of others without expecting recognition or compensation.

 

Leadership: A commitment to guiding peers through setting a good example in sports, the classroom, and daily life.

 

Character: A commitment to a high standard by making the correct choices daily. This requires respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, caring, and citizenship. It is important to remember to respect all laws and authority over the summer.
