National Honor Society
by Pam Smith
The National Honor Society (NHS)
Established in 1921The 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.
NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. Territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.
Applications for new members (juniors and seniors) will begin in October. Induction ceremony will be at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, November 2, 2009.
