For a number of years, the Rosman High School National Honor Society has taken an educational service trip to various destinations within the United States. In June 2025, they would like to take a trip to the Cayman Islands. The trip would be organized through Appleseed Expeditions, a service-learning student travel company that RHS has used before. The estimated cost would be $2,590 per student. In order to begin fundraising a year in advance, they are seeking approval from the board now. A letter with more details and the proposed itinerary are attached.

School trips that require travel outside of the continental United States must be approved by the board upon recommendation by the superintendent or designee. Rosman NHS Advisor Nancy Sanders and others will be here to discuss the trip and answer questions from the board. Policy 3320 and regulations 3320-R are attached.

The board may take action on the superintendent’s recommendation for the proposed National Honor Society trip to the Cayman Islands on June 9-13, 2025.
