To maintain membership the NHS student must perform 8 hours of community service over the course of the school year. Willingness to work for the benefit of those in need, without monetary compensation or without recognition, is a quality we seek in our membership. NHS members are willing to spend their extra time helping others. They are not afraid to go out into the community and help those in need. We are committed to the idea of volunteering our time and abilities to help create a better tomorrow.
Leadership is to exert a positive influence on the school and the community.
A Leader takes the initiative in class and school activities to train and aid others to attain the same objective. A leader must know how to compromise. Often the leader must yield to their own personal interests for the interest of others. A leader has self-confidence and will go forward when others hesitate. Without leadership a society cannot maintain order.
