The National Honors Society
(NHS) aims to bring out the excellence in outstanding high school
students. Roosevelt High School's population of NHS kids has
increased by a third in just one year. These kids do so much and show
their love for their school by being the leaders and organizing
activities which benefit the school.
Although what does it take
to be in NHS? At Roosevelt, applications can be turned in between
September and October, and in November a select amount of students
with a 3.5 GPA and must demonstrate that they have character,
service, leadership and scholarly skills, to be accepted.
Mr. Perkins leads
Roosevelt's NHS students in their biweekly meetings. Within
these meetings the students then become the leaders, organizing
future activities for the group.
"Our meetings primarily
serve as an organizational time, where we set up for the upcoming
weeks," said Perkins.
