Club Goals / Description
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 its beginning in 1921.
Eligibility
Candidates become eligible for selection to NHS starting in the first semester of their Junior year. If academically eligible, students are invited to apply, and subsequently evaluated based on the four virtues of NHS (scholarship, leadership, service, and character) by a faculty council.
Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render service; to promote leadership; and to develop character in the students of secondary schools. These purposes also translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local chapter.
