Pueblo\u2019s National Honor Society (NHS) continues its highly reputable status. This organization continues to corral some of Pueblo\u2019s highest-achieving students\u2014not only in academics but also in character.<\/p>\n

The requirements for being in NHS\u00a0continue to be very specific and very high. Students are required to earn at least a 3.6 grade point average (GPA), have some community service experience, possess a \u201cgood\u201d character, including having leadership experience and\/or motivation to be a great leader.<\/p>\n

NHS\u00a0is a community service-based club, serving the needs not only at Pueblo but also the community itself. This year, for example, NHS\u00a0has committed to fundraising for Pima Animal Care Center (PACC). NHS\u00a0students have raised money from car washes and other activities to raise funds for the PACC.<\/p>\n

According to NHS sponsor Ms. Kelly Crane, \u201cWe raise money so they [Pima Animal Care Center] can use it as they need.\u201d<\/p>\n

NHS\u00a0currently has 63 members. Of these, 29 are new members joining this spring semester. Crane reported that 20 seniors in NHS will be graduating with honors in May.<\/p>\n

One of those seniors, Valentino Lugo, president of NHS, said that this club helps contribute to society by getting students to volunteer because that is the way to get into this club besides having high grades.<\/p>\n

Valentino said, \u201cI have really liked being president this school year because it’s a good way to communicate with everybody in the school. I\u2019ve really gotten to know a lot of underclassmen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that although he has enjoyed the privilege and prestige of being one of Pueblo\u2019s most elite clubs, he is ready to \u201cpass the torch\u201d onto somebody else next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
