The Dwight D. Eisenhower Chapter of the National Honor Society is no longer accepting applications for new membership. The deadline has passed and late submissions will not be considered.

Students that have applied will be notified of their status (by mail) by the second week of August.

Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will be available 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.
