The National Honor Society (NHS) is integral to a learning community because it highlights the school's appreciation of crucial values: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The prestigious program recognizes student achievement and encourages community excellence. The Dunecrest chapter welcomed 15 new members at its inaugural NHS Induction Ceremony which included eloquent speeches about the foundational pillars from school leaders. The criteria for membership include a 3.3 cumulative GPA, extensive involvement in the community, and a majority vote by the faculty council. Being an NHS member means the embodiment of the four pillars every day, every way. Dunecrest's NHS chapter is quickly making a difference by adding another layer to our school culture through academic excellence and school-wide initiatives. NHS members have hosted charity events to raise money for the Red Crescent, created a Student Charter, and continue to get all members of the learning community working together to achieve their goals.  By Laila Aljuhany, Grade 10
