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 Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since it began in 1921.

NHS Membership Selection Procedure

Membership in National Honor Society is based upon scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

Membership eligibility will be reviewed in the spring semester of each school year. Candidates eligible for membership selection must be members of the sophomore, junior, or senior class. Candidates are eligible for membership selection after three full-time semesters and must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.50. Their eligibility will then be considered on their service, leadership, and character.

A five member faculty council will then select members from the candidates who demonstrate outstanding performance in service, leadership, and character.
