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, service, leadership, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

Dewey High School selects Juniors and Seniors based on the top 10% GPA of their class after the fall semester their Sophomore year or during their Jr. or Sr. year. Continued membership requires maintaining a 3.5 GPA. We also request students complete service hours to demonstrate leadership within our school and community.
