Laurel Springs School was the first private online high school to establish a chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS). Membership in the NHS is based on academic achievement, service within the community, personal character and leadership. Our chapter of the NHS provides a unique forum in which the student leaders of our school can participate in service learning projects. For our NHS school project, first-year members address global environmental concerns. This program gives our students the opportunity to explore and exemplify what it means to be global citizens and stewards of the planet through specific environmental activities. NHS members complete service hours and are given high school credit upon completion of their course work.
“The NHS community service program focused my energies and provided me with a more organized perspective for my community service. The environmental course broadens my perspective on human progress, which should use resources from the environment in a sustainable manner.”
“I think focusing on the values of NHS – scholarship, leadership, service and citizenship – are important to everyone in the school and can frame all of our other projects. This year, my NHS community service is being a mentor in the new Link Crew Mentor Program, which is a peer mentoring program that matches high school and 8th grade students. My role is to offer advice, help them with goal setting, and be a friend.”
Since its inception in 1929, the National Honor Society has recognized outstanding high school students whose accomplishments go beyond excellent academic performance and include exceptional leadership, service and character qualities. Our school places a high value on this organization, and we offer a special National Honor Society induction ceremony that takes place once a year in Southern California. We take great pride in the accomplishments of our students who have achieved this premier distinction.
