What is Honor T?
"Honor T," the longest running club at Tam, was originally founded in the 1920s as the Tam High Honors Society. Students in the club serve and represent the Tam community by providing hours of community service to areas of need on and off campus.
To qualify for Honor T students must complete 12 hours of community service each semester. Service must be unpaid, not part of an internship, and serve the wider community. Although 12 hours are the minimum, we highly encourage exceeding that amount!
If you have any questions, students may email officers if they have any questions. NO PARENT EMAILS!
