National Honor Society
From the NHS website:
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 the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
At Heritage, we have an active chapter of NHS, inducting up to 15 students a year.
A student is first considered for membership based on scholarship (3.5 GPA or higher). The student then must write an essay describing what they believe servant leadership is. They must also show that they have demonstrated leadership, in school and/or out.
Members of the HCCA-NHS meet bi-monthly. The NHS members participate in at least one service project and are expected to continue their leadership and scholarship to graduate as a NHS member. We also discuss how we as Christians are to demonstrate servant leadership.
