The National Honor Society (NHS) promotes a school's commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.  These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921.

Being a member of the National Honor Society shows that you are among the top students in the nation, not just in terms of academics but also in terms of character.  It shows a commitment to community service projects and provides students the opportunity to network with like-minded peers.
