The National English Honor Society is starting up for the first time in Law history. 

Applications will open for all juniors and seniors interested on the last week of September. Beginning on October 15, NEHS will meet after school every Tuesday in Advisor Mrs. Lucia’s room (234). 

”The NEHS is an honor society for students who love everything related to English language and literature,” Lucia said. “The society not only promotes discussion about reading and writing, but it also supports charity efforts and provides scholarship opportunities for students.“ 

There will be snacks provided for club members on the first day.

“I am hoping to have a holiday book drive and possibly a writing collection, but ultimately we will figure that out at our first meeting with members,”  Senior President Addison Barber said. “I am looking forward to having a club that everyone can enjoy how hard they’ve worked in English!”

Even though the first meeting hasn’t occurred yet, students can look forward to many activities in this club. These may include a book drive, reaching out to the community to provide literary support, entering essay contests, and publishing pieces written by club members.

“I am most looking forward to getting other english students involved with one another based off of there previous/current english classes,” Senior Vice President Julia Ryan said. “I hope that we are able to get together some creative writing and small book clubs where new members could share what they are interested in within the realm of English.”

Students are excited to be involved in this new club for many different reasons.

“I look forward to getting involved with other students who are also interested in English,” Senior Treasurer Alexandra Fino said. “I hope that we can do book clubs and activities surrounding books we are interested in reading.”
