Extracurricular Information & Updates

Hello Spartans!

Taste of Homestead

One of Homestead's most beloved traditions is the Taste of Homestead event held every Spring. Taste of Homestead aims to showcase a variety of cultures from around the world in the most delicious way. Homestead students first pick a country to represent, then do research on the country and its culture. Lastly, students prepare a dish to share with the Homestead community! At the event, each group will set up a table with a poster displaying their research findings, then they will serve their dish to the event attendees. This year, Taste of Homestead will be on Wednesday, March 15th from 6-7:30 pm. If you would like to register for a Taste of Homestead, click here. Please see Mrs. Beckman or Sr. Peeper if you have any questions.

National Honors Society and Internship Program: Volunteer Hours

Attention all students who are involved in the National Honors Society or in Homestead's internship program! Remember to be completing your volunteer hours before the end of May. The end of the year will be here in the blink of an eye, and volunteer hours may begin to dwindle. Start getting those hours in, so they can be paced out over the course of the semester!

National Honors Society:   As a student in the National Honors Society, getting volunteer hours is crucial before the end of the year. A major opportunity here at Homestead is the ability to tutor your fellow peers! This is a great way to gain hours, and you can even choose to tutor during your study hall.  All you have to do is log your hours by submitting the google form after you complete your tutoring sessions. You can also contact the NHS board members for more information on various volunteer opportunities. All NHS members need 5 hours of non-affiliated volunteer work and 5 hours of NHS-affiliated hours. 

Internship Program:  For any seniors involved in an internship second semester, be sure to be considering when and where you will be completing your 10 volunteer hours before the end of this semester. 

Regardless of whether or not you are involved in the above programs, it is always good to complete volunteer hours. Volunteering is a great way to get involved and give back to the community. Volunteer hours look great on a resume, job application, or even a college application! Reach out to any local organization or a local event to get started.
