"When the National Honor Society was founded in 1921 the hope was to create an organization that would recognize and encourage academic achievement while also developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. These ideals of scholarship, character, service and leadership remain as relevant today as they were in 1921.
Now, more than 75 years later, the National Honor Society has become a prestigious organization, ranking high among administrators, faculty members, students, parents, and residents of the school community. Its reputation for excellence is the result of years of commitment on the part of everyone involved. Through NHS chapter service activities, members maintain an extend the qualities that won them selection. Membership is thus both an honor and a commitment.
To the extent that principals, advisers, teachers, and student members fulfill their respective roles enthusiastically, the Society will continue to thrive for the benefit of its members and our democratic society."
