PINE TREE CHAPTER - NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
Who Are We?
The National Honor Society (NHS) goes beyond recognizing students for their superior academic achievements. It provides schools with a values-based framework to elevate a culture of scholarship, service, leadership, and character by empowering, championing, and recognizing well-rounded students.
NHS chapters operate in all 50 states and numerous schools worldwide, engaging and serving over 1.4 million students. Each year, the average NHS chapter contributes:
- 1,000 hours of school/community service
- $26,000 in charitable donations
- 1,000 pounds of food to local, state, and national causes
- 100 pints of blood
Activities:
The local Pine Tree Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) proudly supports the community through volunteer activities with a variety of nonprofit organizations, such as The Art Alliance, Forest Festival, Junior League, Seasons of Hope, Hudson Youth Sports, and activities within Hudson ISD.
In addition to community service, the chapter actively raises funds to support student initiatives and hosts an annual teacher appreciation luncheon for the Hudson High School faculty.
As a reward for their dedication, seniors who fulfill their required service hours are eligible for a partially funded senior trip to a nearby amusement park—located within a four-hour drive.
If you are sponsoring an activity and would like NHS volunteers, please complete the following form at least two weeks before the event. Request for NHS Volunteers
