The National Honor Society is an organization that recognizes outstanding students from grades 10 through 12. It was formed in 1921 as a result of the desire of educators to promote student excellence.  The Bound Brook High School chapter was founded in June, 1962.  The pillars of the Society are Scholarship, Character, Service, and Leadership.  Chapter meetings are held bi-monthly and community services are provided through various ongoing projects.

Team 56-Robbe Xtreme
Team 56 is the result of a 17-year partnership between Bound Brook High School and Ethicon. Team 56 was the first team created by Johnson & Johnson, and one of the very first FIRST Robotics teams in the state of New Jersey. '56 was part of the four teams that organized a competition at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, which led to the establishment of the Philadelphia Regional Competition for FIRST. Bound Brook' and Ethicon have had a long history of FIRST spirit.

Robotics has led to the high school's involvement with programs Project Lead the Way like the engineering and Biomedical Program, where students practically have firsthand experience as to what professionals do in their respective fields, Bound Brook High School Robotics has also brought about the start of robotics in the Smalley Middle and elementary schools, so students can begin an interest with STEM(science, math, and technology) at an even younger age.
