Law’s Science National Honor Society is starting back up for the 2024-2025 school year.

Meetings are held after school on the second Tuesday of every month in Ms. Doolan’s room. All current members are juniors and seniors but invitations are being sent out to sophomores, juniors, and seniors after Quarter 1 grades are released.

SNHS allows students who are interested or want to pursue a career in science to further expand their learning with peers of the same interests. 

“We try to have several fun science activities throughout the year,” Advisor Ms. Doolan said. “For example, last year we made slime and learned about the science behind it.”

The SNHS has many benefits to joining like exploring the area of science and meeting people of the same interests. 

“The biggest benefit of joining SNHS is being able to have time to explore an area of science that you are interested in outside of the classroom, and to meet others who have similar interests in science,” Advisor Ms. Doolan said. 

Senior President Deepika Chitirala explains why she started SNHS and what inspired her to do so. 

“I wanted to start a chapter of the SNHS at law so that I could spread the love of science within the school,” Chitirala said. “I was inspired by how the NMHS and NHS highlighted their subjects and felt that an honor society focused on science would be a great chance for students to be recognized for their hard work but also further explore their scientific interests.”

Senior Secretary Ellie Coddington explains the goals the SNHS wants to achieve this year.

“Our goal for this year is to host a presentation night for families as well as Jonathan Law students and staff to attend and see the hard work our members put into their projects,” Coddington said. 

Senior Treasurer Madelyn Baronowsky explains what made her interested in joining the SNHS.

“I wanted to join the Science National Honor Society because I have always had a passion for science, and I wanted to help share that with the rest of the school,” Baronowsky said. 

Doolan and her officers highly encourage students to come to meetings and become a part of the SNHS because it provides educational and social opportunities that are only offered for members of the society.
