National Honor Society
Advisor: TBD
Membership in the National Honor Society (NHS) is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a high school student. Our chapter has worked hard to bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers, and the community. Our chapter strives to give practical meaning to the Society’s standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four ideals are considered as the basis for selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Honor Society strives to recognize the total student—one who excels in all these areas. The standards used for selection are:
- Scholarship: 3.5 cumulative average
- Leadership, Service, and Character: as demonstrated by activities and teacher evaluations
Membership, however, is more than an honor. It is an ongoing responsibility and an obligation to continue to demonstrate those outstanding qualities that result in a student’s selection. Membership also carries a responsibility to the chapter. If our NHS chapter is to be effective and meaningful, each member must become involved. You will be expected to meet or exceed expectations in the following areas:
- Participating in Chapter Meetings (bi-wkly/monthly)
- Planning and involvement in Chapter Service Projects
- Meeting Individual Service Hour Requirements
- Maintaining Excellent Conduct
- Attaining Substantial Accomplishments in scholarship, service, character, and leadership
