The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in activities of the NHS. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

Eligibility requirements: Juniors and Seniors with an un-weighted cumulative GPA of 3.65 or higher with no unsatisfactory marks for citizenship (as verified by the list of eligible students posted on the door of room S10 the first week of school) must attend the MANDATORY informational meeting, usually Wednesday of the first full week of school, to receive a Candidate Information Packet (C.I.P.). In addition to Scholarship and Character, evidence of verifiable Service and strong Leadership are required for selection into NHS.

Application window: The original C.I.P.'s must be completed and uploaded to the NHS Prospective Member TEAM in late September for selection into NHS.
