National Honor Society is holding their second mandatory meeting for members Wednesday and Thursday in the auditorium. “During the NHS meeting we will go over hour requirements for this semester, reintroduce officers, and introduce new FISD hour requirements,” NHS president Reva Kabnurkar said.

It might not have the same impact as getting one from a college, but underclassmen received their National Honor Society acceptance letters via email on Monday at 5:00 p.m.

“It’s a good credential to have as it showcases that you’re dedicated and engaged student in the school, so I think it’ll be really beneficial when colleges, look at it on your application,” sophomore Tom Punnen said. “I felt pretty confident after I sent the application, as I had fulfilled other requirements but it was subjective to these teachers who chose that shows up kids but I was happy when they sent out the results.”

Requiring a 4.0 cumulative GPA and leadership, service, and character, senior Brooke Saltar says there are benefits to being in NHS.

“NHS is a really great way to enter into a school community and meet different people in the student body,” Saltar said via text. “A lot of the volunteer opportunities are a lot of fun and it always makes you feel good when your help out the community, not to mention it will be a nice addition to your college resume.”
