National Honor Society

National Honor Society logo

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, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

Today, it is estimated that more than one million students participate in NHS activities. NHS chapters are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, many U.S. territories, and Canada. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.

Annie Lochhead is the NHS adviser at Mead High School.  NHS is open to juniors and seniors who have achieved a 3.6 (or above) cumulative GPA. Students may apply for membership in the spring of their sophomore year. Members are required to perform 20 hours of community service each semester, have an active ASB card, and pay the NHS dues each year.  Students must also be enrolled at Mead High School for at least two classes (full-time Running Start or online students are not eligible for NHS). Attached is the community service form.

Please contact Mrs. Lochhead with any questions at 465-7062, ann.lochhead@mead354.org or in Room M20.

Also attached is the new community service form.
