Requirements for membership: A student must:
- Be a rising senior. (Invitations are extended during the spring of a student’s junior year.)

Benefits: Membership in the National Honor Society is a high honor for a high school student, opening doors to an extensive network of leaders, training opportunities, and scholarship resources.
*Club funds: Membership dues of $35 cover the annual affiliate fee for chapter membership plus the cost of cords for seniors to wear at graduation. (*We will ask for this fee beginning with new inductees in the spring of 2025. The advertised amount at the end of last year was $10 per student but is not enough to cover the cost of affiliate dues.)
Community Service Project – NHS hosts one group service project per year and students must individually complete 10 additional hours of community service.
