Deca Graders

NHS
by: Rocio Cardenas
Our school recently held the induction ceremony for the new National Honor Society (NHS) members, including several juniors and a senior. NHS requires its' inductees to be at the junior and senior levels, so we decided to ask some current sophomores what they thought of all the hype. Mariana Diaz was excited and flattered when Ms. Ortega told her that she could be one of the upcoming NHS inductees for the 2010-2011 school year. Mariana said, "This is important to me because it would look amazing on my college application".
Mariana Buzo says " I was honored when told I was a possible candidate for next year. It would look great on my transcripts and my resume!" Crystal de la Luz exclaimed, " It makes me happy to think that I could be an NHS member because I can help those in need. It would also look great on my transcripts".
NHS is for those juniors and seniors who have a 3.0 average and show leadership, character, scholarship, and service. The NHS members give back to their school and community; such as having toy drives for children. NHS members also help out by collecting toiletries for the elderly. Being an NHS member is great honor because you aside from looking great on transcripts and applications, members get to help people in need.
