National Honor Society

The overall goal of the National Honor Society (NHS) is to help students further develop their leadership skills while providing service towards others. Junior and senior students are eligible to apply to NHS if they have a 3.0 GPA or higher at the end of their sophomore or junior year. The selection process involves students completing an application focused on their service and leadership within the school and surrounding community. Active members are then expected to provide 20 hours each school year of community service towards the school and the community. Examples of community service hours include working with the HEHS Halloween Community Event and assisting the Feed My Starving Children program.

The faculty council evaluates each candidate, with input from other staff members, in the areas of service, leadership, and character. When the evaluation process is complete, each candidate is notified of whether or not membership in the National Honor Society has been granted.
