National Honor Society

MEMBERSHIP

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Chapter of the National Honor Society will be accepting applications for new members for the 2025-26 school year beginning in April 2025. Check back then and see below on how to be considered for membership.

Thank you for your interest.

The National Honor Society (NHS) is a national organization designed to recognize outstanding high school students. The society is dedicated to four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Each spring potential candidates are invited to apply. Membership is determined by a Faculty Council and each fall the new members are inducted during a special evening ceremony. The Eisenhower Chapter of the National Honor Society inducts sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have demonstrated the qualities demanded for NHS membership.

To be considered for membership, a student must have met the following requirements:

Freshmen:

A minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA (unweighted)
Participation in at least 2 clubs, activities, or athletics over the past 2 semesters
Demonstration of outstanding character and leadership qualities

Sophomores:

A minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA (unweighted)
Participation in at least 4 clubs, activities, or athletics over the past 4 semesters
Demonstration of outstanding character and leadership qualities

Juniors:

A minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA (unweighted)
Participation in at least 5 clubs, activities, or athletics over the past 6 semesters
Demonstration of outstanding character and leadership qualities

Members of NHS participate in school and community service projects and must perform a required number of service hours (both inside and outside of school) to remain a member in good standing.
