About Us

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 recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

Requirements to Qualify for Membership

In order for a student to be invited to apply for induction into NHS he/she must meet the following Criteria

2. Have an un-weighted 3.5 GPA at the end of their Sophomore or Junior Year
