The National Honor Society is composed of forty-four junior and senior members who continue to carry on the guiding principles of the National Honor Society: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Monthly meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month. Each member is required to complete two additional community service hours of his or her choice. The Society completes at least one service project per month.
Congratulations to our seventeen seniors: Dimitri, Alex, Madi, Will, Alena, Emily, Katie, Katie, Brandon, Tiera, Patrick, Jen, Ryan, Ryan, Erin, Ashley, and Kristen.

NEWS AND NOTES: |
We raised enough money to purchase a brick in the brick walk at the Victory Junction Gang Camp, a camp located in Randelman, North Carolina, that services terminally ill children. The camp directors sent us a picture of the brick. Please click the link below for more information about VJGC.

Goshen High School is now a drop off site for Coups for Troops, a nonprofit organization that takes donated new and expired grocery coupons and sends them to military families overseas. Those families may use coupons that have expired at the base commissary for up to six months past the expiration date. Simply clip unwanted grocery coupons(not restaurant coupons) or donate expired coupons. Donate in the box marked "Coups for Troops" in the high school main office or give to Mrs. Deuer in A216. This is an ongoing project, so please keep clipping those coupons. Thanks! Please click on the website for more information. http://www.coupsfortroops.com/. So far we have mailed about 100 pounds of coupons to military families in Japan and Italy.
We also collect Tyson Project A+ Labels for Education. Each label is worth $.24. Please click the link for more information. Tyson Project A+
