High School National Honor Society (NHS)

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

Four primary purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: "To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to develop character in the students of secondary schools" (from the NHS constitution).

Membership Requirements
NHS is by invitation only. Membership application for UHS NHS is offered to students with a 3.7500 weighted GPA as of January, beginning their sophomore year. The application includes questions regarding community service, school service, school leadership, and awards and accolades. In addition, applicants write a plan of action for our community for a service-oriented project. Invitations to apply are emailed in February and due in March/April.
