The purpose of the National Honor Society is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools. The charter for the Maurepas Chapter of the National Honor Society was granted in 2000, and the charter members were inducted in January of 2001.
We are the Ocean Springs High School chapter of the National Honor Society. A community of high-achieving students committed to scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
As NHS members, we strive to make a positive impact on our school and local community through meaningful service, academic excellence, and ethical leadership. We believe that true honor comes not just from what we achieve, but from how we uplift others along the way.
Together, we uphold the values that define NHS and we lead by example.
