NHS Mission Statement:

The National Honor Society (NHS) elevates a school’s commitment to the values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four pillars have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921. Learn more about these four pillars of membership here.


Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, US Territories, Canada, and around the world. Chapter 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 are in schools that care not only about student achievement, but also community engagement.


NHS students and their peers volunteer in their communities at the highest rates and make connecting with and serving within the community a priority.
