Everyday Pillars of NHS

  • Everyday Scholarship
    is a commitment to learning and growing on an educational path.

  • Everyday Service
    is seeking out and engaging in meaningful service, not simply doing acts of service to fulfill a school, district, or program requirement, or to collect hours.

  • Everyday Leadership
    is carrying oneself with dignity and taking ownership and responsibility for one’s own actions and participation.

  • Everyday Character
    is valuing diverse cultures and building relationships that reflect love of self but also concern for others.

Start an NHS chapter at your school by April 30, 2020, and we’ll extend your annual membership through June 30, 2021, at no additional cost.

What are the benefits of NHS for students?

NHS membership is invitation-only. And once inducted, NHS student members are members for life. As members, students have opportunities to expand their leadership and are called to serve as role models in valuing the mindsets and actions related to scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Additionally, students are able to apply for the NHS Scholarship and attend college admission and financial aid planning webinars.

With a National Honor Society (NHS) affiliation, you give your most ambitious students a place to develop their leadership skills and learn how to be an active citizen in their community—setting them up for success that lasts far beyond academia.
