Each year’s NHS senior students select a staff member who exemplifies the characteristics of the National Honor Society. This year, the graduating NHS members selected Matt Clark as the honorary member of the year.

National Honor Society candidates must meet the chapter’s requirements for scholarship, service, leadership and character in order to be selected for membership. Once members, students continue to exemplify these traits through numerous academic, social, and civic efforts. The MCHS National Honor Society sponsor is Anthony Babich, and the assistant sponsor is Chris Erickson.
