National Honor Society is not given any recognition for how presentable high schools, like Red Mountain, look. The students clean up and make the school presentable looking during their own time, simply for the fact that they want to attend a presentable school. The National Honor Society, a club of people who were recognized for doing acts of service for others, meets every Thursday during the first half of lunch at 12:25 in room 252, they discuss how to better the school and what new service projects to do. Many do not know that NHS travels frequently to other schools, just to help them pick up around campus.
“NHS has involved me more in the school and with the community around me,” junior Alexandar Dobyns said. “NHS develops character and helps people become the best version of themselves.” Dobyns said. While some people only do service to get the hours, others, like Alexandar do it because they genuinely enjoy seeing people happy.
“NHS is an organization that brings together the most dedicated and hard working students at Red Mountain, in order to help the school and community grow around us.” junior Amanda Adams said. “This club provides scholarships, brings a positive light to the school, and plans behind the scenes dances and activities that students love to attend.” Adams said. Students like her, who truly put their all into the given tasks help so many wonderful people benefit, just by donating a bit of their time to do service.
“NHS focuses a lot on giving back, serving the community, and creating real connections and memories with kids,” senior Reily Rich said. “Service projects and events are set frequently for NHS to run which is a lot of time and work, but it is super fun and rewarding,” Rich says. NHS is a great club that helps impacts many youth and older people’s lives in the most positive way possible.
