General Announcements

Hey Key Clubbers - come to the meeting after school today in Room N2.  See you there.

The first National Business Honor Society meeting will be held today after school in Room E-9.  

Attention Seniors:  Your Senior class panoramic picture will be taken tomorrow, October 7th at 7:50 a.m. in the Main Gym.  Remember, this is the ONLY time pictures will be taken of the entire Senior Class, so DON'T MISS OUT! You only have one chance to be a part of this special event, so BE THERE.

It’s that time of year for eligible juniors and seniors to start applying for membership in National Honor Society!  If you are a junior with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, or a senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher, then you are eligible to apply for membership.  Eligible students should have received a letter at their home address, inviting them to apply and also explaining the application process.  If your GPA makes you eligible for NHS, but you haven't received a letter at home, please contact Mr. Smith or Ms. McGeorge in the science office, or Ms. Leclaire in language arts.  This letter also tells you about important informational meetings going on this week, where potential applicants will learn about the club and the application process.  If you are applying for membership in NHS, you must attend one of the 4 meetings scheduled for before and after school on Thursday and Friday.  So if you are planning to apply for membership, please plan on attending one of these meetings.

So bring $15.00 and your student ID to the Guidance Center and sign up for this very important test before it’s too late! The last day to register is Wednesday, October 8.
