The National Honor Society (NHS) is an organization that serves others.  It is comprised of high caliber students who achieve in academics, demonstrate leadership skills, are students of character, and who serve and help others.  It is an honor to be a member of NHS.  It is not an award; it is a responsibility to serve.  NHS is an organization that has high expectations of its members. 

The motto of NHS is Noblesse Oblige:  from French, meaning Nobility Obligates--the sense that those of high rank have the obligation of honorable, generous, and responsible behavior, in service to others.
