The high school National Honor Society (NHS) is an esteemed and prestigious club that recognizes and celebrates academic excellence, leadership, service, and character among high school students. Founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, service, and character, the NHS serves as a platform to honor students who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in these areas. Membership in the National Honor Society is typically invitation-based and requires students to meet stringent academic criteria. To be eligible, students must maintain a high GPA, exemplifying a commitment to scholarship and academic success. Additionally, candidates are evaluated on their leadership skills, demonstrated through active participation in school and community activities. The NHS also places a strong emphasis on service, seeking students who have shown a dedication to making positive contributions to their communities through volunteer work and civic engagement. Once inducted, members participate in various activities and projects that reflect the organization’s commitment to service and leadership. This may include organizing community service initiatives, tutoring fellow students, and contributing to school events. NHS members often take on leadership roles within the school, acting as role models and advocates for academic achievement and community service.

The Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a comprehensive, health-related physical fitness battery of tests for students in California. The State Board of Education designated the FITNESSGRAM® as the PFT for students in California public schools. The test has five parts that show a level of fitness that offer a degree of defense against diseases that come from inactivity. The test results can be used by students, teachers, and parents. The FITNESSGRAM® consists of five fitness areas: Aerobic Capacity, Abdominal Strength and Endurance, Upper Body Strength and Endurance, Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility and Flexibility. The FITNESSGRAM® results are one piece of information students and their families can use, along with other information, to monitor overall fitness. The results are also useful for schools to monitor their physical education programs. The PFT is given to all students enrolled in a California public school in grades five, seven, and nine. Students with disabilities should be given as much of the test as each student’s physical condition permits. The PFT is a physical fitness test and requires every student in grades five, seven, and nine to perform a series of physical tasks

The goal would be to connect with other Elite High School Students who have had the experience of taking classes at the community college. We would talk about our experience, share helpful tips and strategies, and offer Zoom study sessions for accountability. Being a high school student at a community college can also be scary or can cause some anxiety, so I have a community college counselor to an EAA high school counselor who is willing to provide general support and strategies from time to time.
