__**NAHS MISSION STATEMENT**__
Our Mission as an NAHS Chapter is: To beautify our school. Take pride in our artwork. To make the community aware of aesthetic quality. To continually express ourselves through our artwork.

Note from Your Adviser
I will stay after upon request. If you would like to work on a class or NAHS project, contest or scholarship entry, or hold a committee meeting, see me to let you in to the art studio room. Remember this is a shared space, so respect each other's belongings.

See me in advance ASAP to get you what you need! or e-mail jfox@ccps.org

Meetings
-Are mandatory, if you can't attend, contact the president or your advisor promptly prior to the meeting with a reason, read the agenda from the wiki, and see what next steps you need to task. Should these be exceeded membership will be terminated until an art teacher recommends a student with a B=85% or higher again. -Meeting dates, location, and times for the National Art Honor Society will be on announcements, on a google calendar and on the calendar on the bulletin board in the hallway. -Please put them on your personal calendar.

Dues
Yes, unfortunately this organization has annual dues. Ten dollars is due to Ms. Fox by September 23rd, 2016. These are necessary to hold a local chapter of this organization.

Participate by getting active, feel free to create or select a page (left), click on it, sign up, and get to work.
The expectation is that all members perform service through active participation. These activities, and an application with hours due by March 1st of your senior year will earn members service hours and a rainbow honor cord to wear at graduation. (Students pay for honor cords unless, they have done ample fund raising to pay for them.) All members regardless of grades are encouraged to represent the NAHS positively.

Artist of the Month
Nominate an Elkton High School visual art student, whose work is exemplary of the best. This is not a popularity contest. Go into the art classes. Look at the artworks being made. Suggest the person to nominate to your art teacher. A person will be chosen at the following art department faculty meeting. The artist will receive recognition by their artwork being professionally framed, and displayed in the school office for a month, a certificate, and their name recognized on the announcements. They will also be in the running for artist of the year.

NAHS News
The first chapter update is due (before) Nov. and March 1st. These are to be created, completed, and sent by the historian (also have the adviser edit and post a copy to the website). @https://www.arteducators.org/news/nahs-news

Officers Page (and Meetings)
Check the officers page to see your duties. Officers will write the agenda and lead the monthly meetings that will be held before school for officers and Wednesday of each month. These pages are also for you to fill in as you see fit. What message do you want to share about art or NAHS activities? New officers will be elected by members at the last official meeting of the year. Scholarships to colleges are available to students who maintain these positions for one year in good standing.
