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 scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These
characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization
since its beginning in 1921. Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from
the beginning: to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a
desire to render service; to promote leadership; and to develop
character in the students of secondary schools. These purposes also
translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local
chapter. |
