Academic - Honor Societies
Back to Club Pages
The National Honor Society (NHS) is an organization that recognizes students who have “demonstrated outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship, community service, leadership and character.”
Membership Requirements
Students are selected for membership into the Watchung Hills Regional High School chapter of the National Honor Society on the basis of having demonstrated excellence in four areas: scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Students who have met the minimum GPA requirements will be notified via email that they are eligible to apply for membership in the spring of their junior year or the fall of their senior year. Applications will be approved for membership by a majority vote of the faculty council and one induction ceremony will be held for seniors each year.
Selection will be based on the following components of a student’s application beginning in the spring of 2020:
Scholarship
Character
Leadership
Community Service
In the activities demonstrating character, leadership, and service, it must be evident that students have devoted some time to at least one school-based club or activity.
NHS PEER TUTORING
Many National Honor Society students volunteer their time as peer tutors for classmates who are struggling or just need a little extra help in their classes. If you are interested in finding a peer tutor for any subject, please complete this form: NHS Peer Tutor Request Form. You are welcome to contact Mrs. Nunez (mnunez@whrhs.org).
