What is the National Honor Society?

The National Honor Society (NHS) is a fellowship of students who exhibit the ideals of:

• Scholarship

• Character

• Service

• Leadership

The national organization was founded in 1921 with the objective of creating an organization that would recognize and encourage academic achievement while developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy.

The National Honor Society has established a reputation for excellence among administrators, faculty members, students, parents, and residents of the school community. This reputation is the result of years of commitment on the part of everyone involved.

Membership is both an honor and a commitment. Selection to National Honor Society is just the beginning. Membership and participation by students in the local chapter maintain and extend the qualities that won them selection.
