Dear Prospective NHS Officer:
Please take a few minutes to carefully read all of the materials in this packet. It contains information for you and your parent(s) to read regarding our expectations as an officer of Waynesboro High School’s (Wayne Chapter) National Honor Society. We believe it is best for student leaders to know what is expected of them before they choose to run for office.
As an NHS officer, you will be a student leader on campus and a visible role model. If you are successful in your application for office, you must maintain high standards of conduct, attendance, and school spirit during your tenure. NHS officers are required to exhibit the highest standards of moral and ethical character while serving as a role model to fellow students. You will also be assuming a variety of responsibilities.
You will be expected to attend all meetings and activities sponsored by NHS. You will be expected to participate in a variety of service projects throughout the school year.
If you are elected, you will be required to attend officer meetings once a month. These meetings are extremely important in planning and implementing activities and managing events that can have a positive and meaningful impact on our school community. You will be directly managing students who are members of NHS and who are looking to you for guidance and support.
Most importantly, your tenure as an NHS Officer will likely be one of the most rewarding and memorable experiences of your high school career. You will have the opportunity to be involved in a group that has the potential to make a distinct impact on our school and local communities.
If you have any questions or concerns about the duties and responsibilities outlined in this packet, please contact our chapter adviser, Miss Lala: whsnhs@waynesboro.k12.va.us.
Good luck!
