National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. Highlands Ranch NHS serves to honor juniors and seniors 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.
