About the National Honor Society

The National Honor Society is a special honor accorded to sophomores who have earned a cumulative, unweighted 3.5 grade point average or higher and have demonstrated exceptional qualities of leadership, character, and service to their school and community.  These criteria are set at the national level and our local chapter must abide by them.

Membership is nationally recognized as an honor because the selection criteria and procedure are standard across the country.  Election to membership means that a student may list their membership on college and scholarship applications, job applications, and personal resumes now and in the future.  It is a special recognition.

Membership also carries with it the added responsibility of continued service.  Our chapter will be planning and carrying out several school and community service projects during the school year.  NHS members are required to be involved and responsible for deciding on projects and implementing an action plan.  Membership is, of course, optional.
