As their final year in the National Honor Society, seniors have to obtain at least 40 points if they were inducted into the club their junior year, and 80 if inducted in their senior year. Kim Coil is the NHS sponsor for the senior and sophomore classes, she moves with her grade levels in which she sponsors.
“So they can work in the Francis House School District summer camps,” Coil said. “They can, at any time, volunteer for the city of St. Peter’s and Special Olympics; and both of those have websites that have all of their volunteer opportunities on them. So you would just go on [the website for the Special Olympics] and they need somebody to assist, they have very specific things that they’re looking for, and they list them on their website for volunteers. And then you would just sign up through their website and then you would go and help.”
Paige Whitfield is a senior and has been a part of NHS since her sophomore year. She has completed over 65 points.
“I would try to come to all the meetings, of course,” Whitfield said. “And then also sign up for as many things as you can. And be present and remember to place your signup sheets that’s signed up and everything.”
