National Honor Society |
|
| The Viking Chapter of the National Honor Society has decided that its objectives are to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students of Minneota High School. Membership in this chapter is based upon scholarship, service, leadership and character. To be eligible for membership, candidates must have a scholarship average of a B. Their eligibility shall then be considered on their service, leadership and character. Selection is by the NHS Faculty Council and is limited to Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. |
Special Events
Blood Drive
| Each year the National Honor Society sponsors a Red Cross Blood Drive at the school. This is a terrific service project because many students (over the age of 17) give blood. It is a proven statistic that once you start donating blood, you are more likely to continue to do so. Therefore, it is not only the NHS members, but all of the donors who are committing to this very worthwhile event--hopefully, this will continue long past the one time students get out of class. |
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
| The NHS kids put on a presentation for the student body on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It consisted of various readings and a video of the famous "I Have a Dream" speech. This took place at 8:15 instead of the usual TA's. |
