Social Life and Community-

Laurel Springs School is proud to be the first private school offering distance-learning curricula to establish a chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS). Membership in the NHS is an academic honor recognizing academic achievement and service in school projects, as well as personal character and leadership.

Laurel Springs students have a long history of service, distinguished by exceptional individual and school projects, both local and global. For example, Laurel Springs School, Principal Marilyn Mosley Gordanier and Laurel Springs students are recognized Laureates of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) for outstanding environmental work. The Laurel Springs School Chapter of the National Honor Society provides a unique forum in which to continue to recognize outstanding scholastic achievements, character, leadership and service in our students and teachers.

Our NHS Project

Laurel Springs School is committed to promoting environmental awareness. For its NHS school project, Laurel Springs will continue to address global environmental concerns through its newly designed online course for teens: Leaders4Earth. The course lessons will focus on climate change in alignment with the focus of the United Nations Environmental Programme. This course is the first of its kind and is an exciting opportunity for Laurel Springs students. Leaders4Earth gives members the opportunity to explore and exemplify what it means to be a global citizen and steward of the planet through specific environmental activities. Students will emerge as "eco-heroes" with the strong leadership skills necessary for the 21st century. Members will complete service hours and will be given credits.
