The National Honor Society stands in high regard at Campbell High School, being well-respected and well-run.
Juniors and seniors must apply to join the society by filling out paperwork at the beginning of the year, answering questions about what they have given to their community, how well theyâve done academically and how theyâve shown that theyâre quality role models in the Litchfield community.
The officers are nominated and then voted on in the previous year, making sure the group will adopt and continue the groupâs customs the next year.
Senior Andrea Demos, who was voted Most School Spirit in the yearbook this year, was chosen as president of the National Honor Society.
âThis year, we were lucky to have two brand-new advisers, Mrs. Denise Freeman and Mrs. Daizha Gatherum, who have been very enthusiastic and energetic,â Demos said when asked how she juggles all of her planning responsibilities.
So far this year, the NHS has been fully involved within the community, participating in multiple charities and fundraisers.
Once students are invited into the group, each must serve a certain number of hours toward community service.
Juniors must complete a 25-hour individual service project and seniors must do a 15-hour project. Many students choose to give back to the school community with tutoring or continue service projects with which theyâve already been involved, such as work at nursing homes, animal shelters and after-school programs for younger children.
For example, senior NHS member Joshua Flynn has tutored underclassmen in math and English, while junior Brianna Hardy has given back to the community by helping out local volleyball camps, teaching kids the fundamentals of the sport.
As a group, the National Honor Society has participated in âService Socials.â Every month, the students go into the community and practice their service.
They started in October with the Laugh Everyday 5K in honor of Alison Corf, a beloved Campbell student who has since died.
