About the National Honor Society (NHS)

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization dedicated to recognizing exceptional high school students. Founded in 1921 and 1929, NHS goes beyond an honor roll—it celebrates students who exemplify excellence in Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character.

At Reeds Spring High School, NHS members are held to high standards:

  • A minimum 3.25 GPA

  • 90% or higher attendance

  • 7.5 hours of community service each semester, with at least 2 hours dedicated to serving the school

Eligible students are invited to join NHS during their sophomore, junior, or senior year, reflecting their commitment to the core values of the organization.
