Allen Powell, NTHS co-founder and executive director, who presented the awards. Blevins expressed appreciation to the students who participated in the community service projects and congratulated them on receiving the two Silver Star Awards from the NTHS national organization. Membership in NTHS is reserved for students with a 95 overall grade point average and no attendance policy violations who are nominated by a faculty member.
