National Honor Society

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 recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

Every spring, students are selected for membership into National Honor Society (NHS). Students will be inducted into membership of NHS if they are equally qualified in Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character. Students with a cumulative 3.5 GPA in the second semester of their sophomore or junior year will be given an invitation to submit information regarding their good character and participation in leadership and service activities. Each of these criteria will be considered equally by the faculty committee with input from teachers as to the student’s qualifications for NHS. Students who are interested in becoming a member of NHS should have documented service activities and active participation in leadership positions in co-curricular organizations or sports activities. Students with office referrals resulting in administrative discipline will not be considered for National Honor Society.
