The National Honor Society (NHS) is a prestigious organization that recognizes and honors high school students who excel academically and demonstrate excellence in character, leadership, and service. Students typically become eligible for NHS during their sophomore or junior year, with a minimum GPA requirement (usually 3.5 or higher).
NHS focuses on four core values:
1. Scholarship (academic achievement)
2. Service (community involvement and volunteer work)
3. Leadership (initiative and positive influence)
4. Character (integrity, respect, and responsibility)
NHS membership offers opportunities for leadership development, community service projects, college and scholarship applications, and networking with like-minded students.
Presently, the local chapter of the National Honor Society includes the following students, with asterisks denoting new inductees: Yaradin Fuentes, Hannah Melancon, Anna Ross*, Jocsan Ramos, Araly Camunez, Charli Richard, Adriana Orozco, Natalie Navarette, Adam Juarez, Madison Inglet, Edmon Gutierrez, Valeria Acosta, Julissa Hernandez, Cristian Diaz*, Yamileth Lujan*, Ayden Parker*, Cadi Richard*, Sadi Richard*, Ace Moreno, David Gaytan*, Johnna Butts*, Camila Baeza*, Jaden Mendoza*, Janice Ramirez*, Miranda Olivo* and Ebany Aguilar*.
