Each year, Red River High School's National Honor Society participates in a service project. This year, it's decided to 'adopt' the senior class of Biloxi High School in Hurricane Katrina-devastated Biloxi, Miss.

In October, Grand Forks City Council members formally adopted Biloxi in a resolution promising to offer what technical and moral support the city could give. We at Red River's NHS decided the same could be done at the school level.

I had the opportunity to talk with the principal at Biloxi High, Pamela Manners, who told me about how the high school was used during and after Hurricane Katrina. The school, which was three years old, suffered $2.1 million in damages, primarily to the fine arts areas, athletic department and career technical shops."
