National Honor Society is an 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.

Students who meet the scholarship criteria are invited to submit information for membership consideration in the spring of their junior year or fall of their senior year. Click on the selection process link for more information.
