The National Honor Society (NHS) was founded in 1921 by The National Association of Secondary School Principals. Today, NHS is a world-wide organization with an estimated one million participants. Students in NHS demonstrate excellence in their academic pursuits and commitment to their school and community. NHS is founded on the four pillars of academics, leadership, service, and character, and students are expected to uphold these pillars in their daily lives. Chapter membership not only recognizes student accomplishments, but also challenges students to develop their leadership skills.
Requirements for NHS Members:
- Minimum GPA of 3.5
- Must be a Junior or Senior
- Must uphold the four pillars of academics, leadership, service, and character
- Once accepted, members must complete community service hours within the academic school year. Seniors are required to complete 50 hours, and Juniors are required to complete 25 hours.
Applications for the 2024 - 2025 school year are open!
Please follow these directions carefully:
In order to apply to NHS, you need to complete this application. It is recommended you either open the document with a PDF editing tool (i.e. DocHub, Lumin, Adobe, etc.) so you can fill it in digitally (preferred), or you can download the application, print it, then upload images.
To submit your application, you will need to complete this Google Form and upload your application within the Form.
All applications are due Friday, October 11th, 2024 no later than 10pm. No exceptions. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered. Applications will be reviewed by the Faculty Committee, and students will be notified of their application decision the week of November 4th, 2024. Lack of evidence of leadership (in school or out of school), service to school or the community, failure to complete ALL parts of the application including the essay, and any disciplinary referrals all factor into membership consideration.
Note: Seniors who were accepted into NHS last year DO NOT need to reapply.
