NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

What is it?
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 honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. It is important to understand that chapter membership not only recognizes students for their past accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

Who can participate?
Sophomores, juniors and seniors who are enrolled as full-time students at Bellbrook High School are eligible for consideration as members. In order to be academically eligible, a student must have an unweighted, cumulative high school grade point average of at least 3.51. In order to be eligible, the student must have attended Bellbrook High School for a minimum of one semester (military exceptions can be made). Selection takes into account a candidate’s grade point average, involvement in school and community activities, leadership positions held, and evaluations from the entire high school faculty. School disciplinary records are checked for a candidate’s entire high school career. Again, selection for membership in the National Honor Society is an award from the faculty and is similar to any other scholarship or award in that it is a privilege and not a right of any student.

When does it take place?
NHS holds meetings, events and community service drives throughout the school year.
