Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a high school student. NHS strives to give practical meaning to the society’s standards of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
According to faculty co-advisor Stephanie Hogan, no student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Honor Society recognizes the total student—one who excels in all of these areas.
