Throughout the year, PHS NHS members have diligently worked to lead and make a positive impact in our community, all while maintaining an average GPA of 3.93. Through their involvement in the NHS, members have devoted countless hours to community service. Last year alone, they completed an impressive 456.25 hours by tutoring high school students, volunteering at various building events, organizing the Hangar Clothing Closet, decorating bags for Kids' Food Basket, creating Christmas cards for nursing homes, assisting with the Christmas Project, participating in the Operation Gratitude letter-writing campaign for troops and first responders and decorating the halls for the "All Trojans are Loved and Welcome Here" Valentine's Campaign. It is truly inspiring to witness how their time and leadership greatly benefit PCS and our community!
