Secretary's Report:
Hey everybody. I am so excited about this new year in NAHS, I hope you all
are too. This year is going to rock more than ever so all of you who aren't
members already listen up.
To be in NAHS you need:
-93+ average in art
-84+ average overall
-no visits to ISS this year
It's that easy. You get to hang out with friends, eat free food, and be a
part of the coolest club on campus, all for keeping up your grades and being
in art.
I'm going to need some help with the bulletin board this year, community
service, attendance, so if anyone is interested see me or drop me a note in
my box in the art room. Also we need ideas for our t-shirt this year, so if
you would like to send us your ideas please feel free. But you have to
hurry. We need a design before the induction ceremony on Nov. 9.
I'll post more info about the new year soon. I look forward to seeing you
all soon.
Kaitlin Brown

NATIONAL ART HONOR SOCIETY CLUB HISTORY/DESCRIPTION
(from the National Art Education Association Website)
In 1978, the NAEA began the NAHS program specifically for high school
students grades 10-12, for the purpose of inspiring and recognizing those
students who have shown an outstanding ability in art. The NAHS also strives
to aid members in working toward the attainment of their highest potential
in art areas, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and
community.
In 1989, the NAEA introduced the NJAHS as a separate organization from the
NAHS. (When a student completes the junior membership, he/she must start
anew and be nominated to the NAHS). This program specifically for students
in grades 7-9 was designed to help generate interest in art programs at the
secondary levels and inspire and recognize the younger art student. The
NJAHS students will become members of a distinguished group of art students.
Here are some reasons why you should keep your grades high, take art, and be
invited to join the NAHS/NJAHS:
- You become part of a professional organization: The National Art Education
Association.
- You become members of a distinguished group of approximately 23,000 art
students.
- Your NAHS sponsor, as an NAEA member, would be eligible for four grant
programs.
- NAHS students would be eligible for award honors at the end of each
school year!
- An NAHS Senior would be eligible to receive the Charles M. Robertson
Memorial Scholarship - a special four-year scholarship to Pratt's School of
Art and Design in New York.
- Your school art program would be eligible to apply for the NAEA Standards
Award.
- Your NAHS/NJAHS sponsor would be eligible to attend NAEA's annual
convention, co-sponsored academies and institutes held throughout the
country. They would also receive a variety of professional publications that
could be a valuable resource in the classroom as well as to your
professional
library.
- Participation in the NAHS/NJAHS, is a mark of accomplishment in the school
and community and well recognized by the institutions when your students
apply for entry into a college or university.
- These programs recognize student excellence and achievement in art.
