Running an NHS chapter is an exciting responsibility—but it also comes with a lot of moving pieces. Whether you’re preparing for inductions, celebrating senior achievements, or recognizing student leadership throughout the year, having the right tools on hand makes everything smoother. Here are a few chapter essentials every adviser should keep stocked:
Membership Pins: The classic NHS pin is a lasting symbol of your students’ commitment to scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Make sure you have enough on hand for new inductees each year.
Certificates: An official certificate validates membership and gives students something to proudly display and share with their families. Stock up before induction season so you’re never caught short.
Stoles and Cords: Graduation is a milestone your students will remember forever. NHS stoles and honor cords make their achievements visible as they walk across the stage—reminding them, and everyone watching, of the legacy they’ve built.
Candles and Holders: Induction ceremonies are powerful moments. Incorporating official NHS candles and holders elevates the tradition and reinforces the sense of belonging for new members. The flame serves as a simple but timeless symbol—representing knowledge passed on, leadership ignited, and the light students carry into their schools and communities.
Banners and Tablecloths: A branded backdrop or table drape instantly elevates your chapter events, making ceremonies more memorable while reinforcing NHS pride.
Every NHS moment—from the symbolism of induction to the recognition at graduation—shapes how students feel about their accomplishments.
Keeping your chapter well-stocked with essentials ensures these moments are celebrated with the care and recognition your students deserve.
