• Fall is a great time to look for
opportunities to serve others!
• This year you may be invited to have
the honor of being inducted into a
very prestigious national organization.
Before initiation (usually around February),
you will need to have
completed 10 community
service/participation hours
working to better the
LATINO or SPANISH-SPEAKING
community in order
to qualify for membership.
What organization am I talking about?
The Nathan Hale Chapter of the
Spanish National Honor Society.
LA SOCIEDAD
HONORARIA
HISPANICA
Capítulo Volcán Arenal
Why Volcán Arenal chapter?
Our chapter name was chosen because
the Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica
is a very
active and powerful volcano.
On a daily basis it can be
heard and seen
making a difference
in the climate of the region.
Why Volcán Arenal chapter?
We hope that the members of the
Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica
Capítulo Volcán Arenal
do the same, that they be active
members
who are powerful in their service to others
and that they be heard and seen
making a difference everyday
in the climate of our community.
So how do I
become a
member?

• Perform using your musical

• other pre-approved
activities that you can
think of…
…the sky’s the limit!
• See Profe Geboy-Helfenstein, Room
272, or Profa. Santiago for approval of
community service opportunities.
FYI:
• Since there is no money in the budget for the language
honor societies, the advisors receive NO monetary
compensation for the time spent organizing and carrying
out membership, induction and other activities.
• Leading these societies are not positions like other Hale
club advisors or athletic team coaches.
• Therefore, Profe Geboy-Helfenstein and Senora Santiago
will occasionally be willing to offer organized group
community service activities which occur outside of the
normal school day.
• However, much of the SERVICE requirement must be
initiated and carried out by the students themselves as
proof of their leadership abilities.
• This leadership is demonstrated in their ability to find a
service opportunity which they feel will best serve their
future interests using the Spanish Language (preferably)
or by assisting those in the local community.
• In order to be a member of
La Sociedad Honoraria
Hispanica, you need to
want to serve others.
• If you think you may qualify for
Spanish NHS (because your
semester grades have been
consistently highA / B+),
please review them & then pass
them on to Profe G-H or Señora
Santiago.
