The Park City High School National Honor Society is excited to announce its annual Park City Memorial 5K!

Since May of 2009, this event has brought our club members and the community together to remember those we've lost and carry on their legacies. It started out as the PC5, where five young students from Park City lost their lives within a six-month span the previous year. As the years have passed, PCHS continues to honor those students and other PCHS alumni and community members who have since passed. All ticket proceeds and donations raised by NHS Members are given to a variety of meaningful charities:

- Labs For Liberty: Pairing veterans or families of fallen veterans with service animals to help them heal, NHS partners with L4L to sponsor as many service animals as possible and match them to Park City military families.

- Homeless Youth Center of Salt Lake: A nonprofit shelter dedicated to providing housing and resources to Utah's homeless youth, charting them on a path to a better future in a supportive social and educational community.

- NHS Humanitarian projects: This summer, many of our members and PCHS students will participate in humanitarian projects in Bali, Indonesia to support reef restoration for a small fishing village.

- NHS Scholarships: Scholarships are given to selected seniors who have been through and overcome hardships in life. These scholarships will help with their first year of college tuition.
