What is NHS?
The National Honor Society (NHS),
established in 1921, is a recognition program for American high
school students who show achievement in scholarship, leadership,
service, and character.
Students are selected for membership through an established school
chapter in secondary public and accredited private schools by a five
member Faculty Council. Candidates must meet the chapter's
requirement for scholarship, service, leadership and character in
order to be selected for membership.
Continued participation in service projects is required to retain
membership. Members must also maintain the chapter's required
cumulative GPA.
