The Cherokee Washington High School Chapter of the National Honor Society participates in many service projects each year.  In the past we have done service projects including, the Rotary Backpack Program, reading to elementary students, doing activities with middle school students, helping the Chamber with events in Cherokee, City-Wide Clean up, adopting families for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, Helping Hands supplies drives, Soles for Souls, Braves Garage Sale, and the Cut-A-Thon.  These projects are selected by current NHS members each year and driven by their goals and passions for serving others.
