Ribét Academy National Honor Society
Scholarship – Service – Leadership – Character – Citizenship
Advisor: Mrs. Murphy
The Ribét Academy National Honor Society, or RANHS, is a compilation of hard working, dedicated, good natured students. The RANHS mission is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, to develop character, and to encourage citizenship in the students of Ribét Academy. To meet this mission RANHS is responsible for organizing events and school activities which allow its members to help others, while at the same time earning community service hours for themselves. An example of this is the society's participation in the Los Angeles River CleanUp.
Started and nationally accredited in 2002, the RANHS benefits the school community and its members. Membership in RANHS is a privilege; mandatory standards, such as a 3.0 GPA and strict meeting attendance requirements are a part of maintaining that privilege. The Ribét Academy National Honor Society serves as an advantage for its members by teaching them life lessons that carry on even after graduation. In one saying the RANHS teaches that "by helping others, one can also learn to help oneself."
Membership is open to Middle School and High School students who meet membership standards.
Other RANHS community service projects are:
- Thanksgiving canned goods drive for 5 Acres Orphanage
- Canned tuna fish drive for Frontline Foundation Homeless Food Service
- Walking in the Revlon Run/Walk for women's cancer
- Relay-4-Life Cancer Walk
- Santa Monica Beach Clean-Up
- Donating candy at Halloween to Women's and Children's Shelters
- Christmas Toy Drive for Children's Hospital Los Angeles
- Visiting the elderly at a Glendale Convalescent Home
- Blood Drives for Huntington Hospital
