• Georgetown High School National Honor Society 

     

    March 23, 2020 Update:  Because we are unsure of when we will return to school the spring service requirement for the spring of 2020 was been waived.  What does this mean?  If you are a senior currently in good standing you will graduate with NHS Honors.  If you are a junior or sophomore currently in good standing you will remain in good standing when you start the 2020-2021 school year.  If you have any questions please email Julia Hodgson at hodgsonj@georgetownisd.org.  

    2019 Induction Ceremony will be on November 14, 2019, at 6:00 pm at the GISD Performing Arts Center (PAC).  Reception following the induction ceremony.  Guest speaker for the induction ceremony will be Ben McCready

     

    October 21, 2019:  If you submitted the NHS Request Form for new members emails have been sent to your GISD gmail account letting you know if you have been accepted or not as a new member.  If you have been accepted as a new memeber you have also been added to a google classroom for NHS Members.  Please join this class and complete the tasks listed in the google classroom.  

    October 2, 2019:  Students who submitted the NHS Request Form will receive an email in late October (the email will be sent to your GISD gmail account) stating that they have either been accepted as a member or that they have not been accepted as a member of NHS.  If you have any questions please contact Julia Hodgson at hodgsonj@georgetownisd.org or call 512-943-5100 ext 7022.

    September 13, 2019:  Sophomore, junior, and senior students who are NOT current NHS members but are academically eligible to become NHS members have been added to the google classroom "Students Eligible for NHS Membership."  Students MUST accept the invitation to join the classroom and complete the New Member Request form by September 30!  If you are a sophomore or junior and did not request membership this year - be on the lookout for the opportunity in September of 2020.

                 Service hours - The rules                                   
    • You may not document anything from before Jan 1 as spring hours.  Spring hours occur during the spring semester. 
    • You need 10 hours of documented community service per semester.  
    • At LEAST 5 of the 10 hours MUST be designated as group hours
    • Individual Hours can be accumulated on a service project or function of your choosing.  This can be done by yourself or with others.  
    • Group hours are designated by the sponsors and officers and the opportunities are sent out via twitter and remind.  If they are not posted here, they are not considered group hours.
    • Use this form to document your hours:   Service Hours Form   
    • Make sure you have signatures.  Another option is to take a selfie of you doing the volunteer work and show it to any sponsor or officer and we'll sign as proof you completed it.
