NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921. Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

COMMUNITY SERVICE VOLUNTEER HOURS

All NHS members (Juniors and Seniors) must complete 30 hours of community or school service hours.

In order to be part of NHS, Community service hours must be completed from the beginning of cycle 1 of Junior year and before the end of Senior year in May.

Community service hours must be earned by volunteering or interned in school or the community.

Service must positively effect the community or the school and in turn built respect, high standards of honesty and reliability.

Every chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) are governed by two sets of documents: the NHS National Constitution and local chapter bylaws.

The NHS National Constitution was developed by the NHS and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) National Council. Guiding the day-to-day operations of NHS is the dedicated team at NASSP, while the organization’s strategic oversight is provided by the NASSP Board of Directors.

All chapters must adopt and abide by the provisions of the National Constitution, per their agreement with the national organization. The NHS National Handbook and Adviser Resource Center offer additional information on items found in the Constitution—including an outline for local bylaws—and provides guidance for advisers in applying the NHS Constitution to their work with their chapters.
