National English Honor Society
Welcome to Newnan High School National English Honor Society's Second Year!
Purpose
The National English Honor Society (NEHS) recognizes the academic accomplishments of America’s high school students and promotes their continuing interest in the English language arts. NEHS is the only high school honor society exclusively for students of English. As such, it provides a unique opportunity to engage students, teachers, and local schools in the valuable experience of discipline-related national honor-society participation.
The Mission Statement of NEHS is to:
confer national distinction upon secondary school students for high achievement in the English language arts;
build a national community of academic achievers; provide, through local chapters, cultural stimulation in high school environments;
encourage interest in the English language arts;
and serve society by fostering literacy.

As educators and lovers of literature, we believe in the power of words to ignite our imaginations, challenge our perspectives, and bring people together. That is why we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new literary magazine, The Phoenix, as the heart of the Order of the Oreinos Leon, Newnan High School’s charter chapter of the National English Honor Society. It is a testament to our commitment to fostering creativity and collaboration among the talented artists and writers here at Newnan High School.

The Phoenix
The Phoenix represents the spirit of resilience, rebirth, and transformation. Just like the mythical bird, we aim to rise from the ashes and create something beautiful, something that will inspire, provoke thought, and spark conversations. This literary magazine is not just a collection of written works and artistic expressions, but a platform that unites individuals with diverse talents, backgrounds, and perspectives. It is a space where we can share our creativity, our stories, and our unique voices. The Phoenix is not just a magazine—it is a community, a family. We are here to support and uplift each other, to learn from one another, and to create something truly extraordinary. We have been excited to witness the birth of The Phoenix and to see it spread its wings and take flight. Congratulations to the NEHS charter class of 2023 as well as all the NHS students who are represented in this first edition!
