All About National Honor Society (NHS)
It's more than good grades! Application process starts in November.
Talk to your student about joining NHS! Membership demonstrates consistent academic performance, leadership, and community service—all qualities valued by colleges, universities, and career training programs.
What is NHS?
National Honor Society is a nationwide organization that recognizes outstanding high school students who demonstrate excellence in four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership, and character.
Who can join NHS?
Students can apply their sophomore year and will be inducted as a junior (or senior, depending on when they apply). Students must meet the GPA requirement (a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 at Newark Catholic) and demonstrate leadership, service, and character.
How do you get into NHS?
Eligible students are invited to apply in November (with induction happening the following year after requirements are met). Those interested in learning more or applying can talk with Mr. Mummey. He will remind students about the application once it opens in November. As part of the application process, students must provide evidence of 30 hours of service and show leadership within the school/community.
