National Honor Society – The National Honor Society is recognized as the nation’s top organization designed to recognize outstanding high school students. Membership in the NHS is based on four criteria: scholarship, character, leadership, and service. At Dayspring, eligible students may be inducted into the NHS as sophomores, juniors, or seniors. The Dayspring chapter meets on a regular basis, and members design and participate in service activities throughout the school year, including at least one group service activity and one personal service. Students determine the projects in conjunction with the NHS adviser, Mrs. Hurley. This year’s projects include a lunchtime forum to prepare high school students for the college SAT, a Christmas card-making project to bless nursing home residents, a dinner for local public servants, including volunteer firefighters, and more!
