These ideals of scholarship , character , service , and leadership remain as relevant today as they were in 1921. Now, more than 75 years later, the National Honor Society has become a prestigious organization, ranking high among administrators, faculty members, students, parents and residents of the school community. Its reputation for excellence is the result of years of commitment on the part of everyone involved. Through NHS chapter service activities, members maintain and extend the qualities that won them selection.
Membership is thus both an honor and a commitment.
