National Honor Society 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. |
