[May 14, 2011]  Members of the National Honor Society at Lincoln Community High School are currently experiencing a transition in leadership, with 2010-2011 officers completing their terms and newly elected officers anticipating the beginning of a new school year.

Current NHS officers are Morgan Barrick, co-president and publicity officer; Shanna Sheen, co-president; Katy Langdon and Brock Endres, co-vice presidents; Haley Adams, treasurer; Audra Krusz, secretary; Hayden Zimmer, tutoring officer; and Katie Boss, student council chairman. Sponsors for this school year were Ms. Hyde and Ms. Dopp.

New officers for the 2011-2012 school year are Ethan Anderson, president; Lauren Soebbing, vice president; Angela Kelley, secretary; Sara Buchanan, treasurer; Elaine Tiffany, publicity officer; and Anna Maxwell, tutoring officer. Sponsors will be Ms. Dopp and Ms. Burton.

National Honor Society was established in 1921 by a principal in Pittsburgh, Pa. His intention was to create an organization that would encourage students who exhibited outstanding academics, behavior and ethics, and dedication to their school and community. The NHS constitution states its main purpose is "to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to develop character in the students of secondary schools."

Scholastic levels must be 3.0 out of 4.0, or a comparable rating. Volunteer service must be performed in the school or community. Leadership must be displayed by problem-solving, promoting school activities and having a positive outlook on life. Character must be shown by honesty and reliability, a high degree of morality and ethics, and courtesy and a clean lifestyle.

The members have also conducted a World War II Memorial fundraiser and a Civil War dedication and have distributed holiday cards for senior citizens.
