What is National Honor Society?

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. As more than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have defined membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

What are the requirements to apply for the 2023-2024 school year?

• You must be at least a Junior.
• You must have a 3.5 unweighted cumulative GPA, as of May 25, 2023. 
• You must have 5 teacher/coach recommendations that reflect their opinion of your character and leadership. 
• You must complete the Leadership Modules on the NHS Applicants Schoology page. 
• You must have completed 20 Service Hours (since freshman year).
   - Please use the TWHS National Honor Society Service Log Template to track your service hours as you complete them.
