The National Honor Society (NHS)  is more than just an honor roll. NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.  Applications are open to second semester sophomores and juniors; if the Faculty Council accepts a student's application, membership begins the following school year. Members are expected to attend monthly meetings and earn 10+ service hours each semester through NHS specific activities. 

Who is Encouraged to Apply

Second semester sophomores and juniors who meet the following criteria are encouraged to apply:

• 3.600 or higher cumulative grade point average

• rigorous course load

• exceptional qualities of leadership, character, and service in school and community experiences

• 10+ hours of service learning (not including service hours earned in MHS classes)

• 1 or more elected or nominated leadership positions 

• positive character reputation in the school community 

• no Code of Conduct or law violations during their MHS career

To see what the faculty council looks for in an applicant, an application letter and rubric draft can be found here.

Students: to learn more, visit the National Honor Society Website and check out the MHS-NHS Chapter Bylaws. Watch for the complete application to be sent via Infinite Campus to your school email late first semester.

Parents: keep in mind that NHS  is a school student organization.  We expect to hear from and work with students as they navigate high school (and life).  We encourage you to ask your student about NHS, but let them take it from there. Thank you.
