The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s oldest student recognition program designed to recognize and engage high school students around a selected group of criteria, namely Scholarship, Leadership, Service, Character, and Citizenship. Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: "To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools." (from the NHS Constitution)
