 Attention Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors:

 Some of you may be receiving in the U.S. Mail a document inviting you (for a fee of $45.00) to become a member of the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS).  By all means, if you want to join, be our guest, but please realize that THIS IS NOT NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY!!!!  Our WHS Chapter of NHS contacts potential members through the school (notes delivered to students in class) rather than by U.S. Mail, and membership in NHS is only $15.00.  Potential members are contacted each February and must be a member of the Junior or Senior class.

 If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Trimble at West High School – phone = 386-5500 or email trimblem@davenportschools.org.
