National Honor Society

|
The National Honor Society is an organization whose intent is to recognize middle and high school students in the United States. The students must show achievement in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
Typically, members of the National Honor Society belong to chapters, which operate for the most part independently of the national offices. While not always the case, many such chapters are based in middle and secondary schools and maintain their own invitation and induction criterion for membership at that school.
National Honor Society groups are commonly active in community service activities both in the community and at the school. Many chapters maintain a requirement for participation in such service activities.
In addition, National Honor Society chapters typically elect officers, who, under the supervision of the staff sponsors, coordinate and manage the chapter as a student organization. Template:Org-stub
