The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students.  NHS strives to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character.

NHS is more than just an honor roll. The NHS chapter establishes rules for membership that are based upon a student's outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four criteria for selection form the foundation upon which the organization and its activities are built.

Scholarship:

Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) meet the scholarship requirements for membership. These students are then eligible for consideration on the basis of service, leadership, and character. A National Honor Society member whose cumulative grade point average falls below 3.0 at the end of the following semester will be considered for dismissal from the Society.
