Getting into the Honor Society is more than just grades. Advisor Mrs. Alice Flarend said student “must also demonstrate commitment to service in school and community, as well as showing leadership. That is a high bar to meet.”
The NHS program empowers and equips students with the knowledge and skills to be transformative leaders in their school, community, and beyond. The National Honor Society has been the true mark of student achievement for over 100 years, but it goes far beyond grades. By empowering, championing, and recognizing well rounded students, NHS provides schools with a values based framework to elevate a culture of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
