Joining NHS

• EHS sophomores and juniors with a 3.5 or higher cumulative weighted GPA after 1st semester will be invited in January each year to submit a candidate packet for consideration.

• Candidate selection is based on evidence in three areas -- service, leadership, and character.

Current members of NHS do not need to be re-selected. 

To maintain an active membership, students will 

• Maintain a cumulative weighted GPA of 3.5 or higher. 

• Be an active and participating member by serving a minimum of 15 annual community service hours.

• Maintain behavior and character reflective of a leader in accordance with the 4 pillars of NHS. 

• Stay current on yearly dues. 

What is National Honor Society?

More than an honor roll, NHS is a selective national organization that serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.  

Membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.  As such, NHS chapters and students care not only about student achievement, but also community engagement.
