STEM National Honor Societies

Mu Alpha Theta, formed in 1957, is a national honor society for math that has chapters in 2,300 schools across the United States and internationally.  The organization focuses on inspiring students to develop an interest in mathematics, enabling them to excel in the subject.  Mu Alpha Theta is sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and the American Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges.  Mu Alpha Theta offers scholarships, summer grants, awards, and leadership opportunities to students.  Becoming a member of Mu Alpha Theta will be a great way for students of Westwood Regional Jr. / Sr. High School to be recognized as excelling in mathematics and will also help students to demonstrate their interest in mathematics in the application process for colleges and universities.

America has been honoring brilliant students through honor societies since 1921. Educators began to notice the need for subject specific honor societies in America’s high schools in the 1980's. Since then, new honor societies have sprung up to recognize and encourage students in such areas as English, Art, French, and Spanish. Until now, there has been no national honor society for Science. In this era of rapidly changing technologies and scientific advancement, it is time to encourage and recognize high school students in the Sciences. The organization of the Science National Honor Society is one of volunteers who are teachers, scientists, and business people.  These people are dedicated to creating a new cadre of scientific young people who will help to run tomorrow's high tech world.

 SNHS is a prominent scientific organization that will engender a new group of young thinkers who will be the future of industry, research, and scientific exploration for America.
