Pawnee High School’s chapter of the National Honor Society is focused on local service.  In their latest service project, members did maintenance work at a local farm.  The goal is not just to serve the community but also to connect members to the world around them and shape their futures. 

Carson Contreras is the president of the NHS chapter and says he values the experience of giving back to the community. 

Contreras is also involved in the student advisory group.  This body advocates for the student body when discussing school-related issues with administrators

In addition to all of this, Contreras plays football, soccer, and baseball and is a basketball manager and member of the Scholastic Bowl team.  He hopes to study political science at either the University of Illinois or Southern California.
