National Honor Society was established in 1921 by a principal in
Pittsburgh, Pa. His intention was to create an organization that
would encourage students who exhibited outstanding academics,
behavior and ethics, and dedication to their school and community.
The NHS constitution states its main purpose is "to create
enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service,
to promote leadership and to develop character in the students of
secondary schools."
Scholastic levels must be 3.0 out of 4.0, or a comparable rating.
Volunteer service must be performed in the school or community.
Leadership must be displayed by problem-solving, promoting school
activities and having a positive outlook on life. Character must be
shown by honesty and reliability, a high degree of morality and
ethics, and courtesy and a clean lifestyle.
