National Honor Society is an organization designed to recognize student’s hard work and leadership skills. It is well known across the 50 states. National Honor Society began in 1921 and still exists today. Although it is somewhat difficult to get in, it is worth it in the long run. NHS looks really good on a college resume and strengthens leadership skills.
In order to be selected you must have good grades, leadership skills, and community service hours. If you are selected, you will be given an application for NHS. Then, you must fill out an application that consists of all things you have achieved from your freshman year. This completed application will then be presented to a council who will decide who gets in.
“It was difficult to get in, but it’s worth it,” said Mikaela Moore, “It pushes me to be more active in school activities and community service.” NHS is a great opportunity for students and everyone should try to get into the program.
