Natick Redhawks

The National Honor Society held an induction ceremony on Wednesday 11/9 for 163 inductees. It was a fantastic event led by the National Honor Society advisors, Ms. Marino and Mr. Sanford. Our keynote speaker, Ms. St. Jean of the math department, eloquently spoke about the inductees and how they embody the four pillars of the National Honor Society - Character, Service, Leadership, and Scholarship. Thank you to all of the families and staff that attended to support these students in their accomplishment.

On Wednesday, we had 5 NHS Athletes sign their National Letter's of Intent to NCAA schools. These students, their families, and friends joined us in the library for a signing ceremony to celebrate. The student athletes are attending Division 1 or 2 institutions and will receive varying degrees of athletic scholarship, depending on their institution and sport. Congrats to Zoe, Caroline, Will, Alyssa, and Maddie and their families

1) STUDENT COUNCIL FOOD DRIVE - The annual Student Council Food Drive Drive for A Place to Turn is happening now! Each year, Natick High's donation is usually one of the largest that a Place to Turn receives. The need this year is great: a Place to Turn is currently servicing 67% more people than they were at this time last year.

Please support the Food Drive by bringing your nonperishable items to the font lobby. Students who donate will win prizes, including parking spots in the staff lot, gift cards, and more! Thank you.

2) NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY JUNIOR INVITATIONS - Juniors with a 3.4 or better GPS can expect to receive invitations to apply to the National Honor Society two weeks-ish after the start of Semester 2. They will need 2 strong leadership roles and 50+ hours of community service (30 of those filed in Guidance) to get in.

We are looking for two Natick families to host for about four months apiece, generally to coincide with the two semesters. For more information, please read more here...
