national honor society

"The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921." - nhs.us

what does nhs do?

NHS does a lot to serve Hillcrest High School and its surrounding community. Students put on activities at a local assisted living center. They tutor other Hillcrest students before and after school. NHS also helps during the school Christmas fundraiser and teacher appreciation week.

NHS students also earn service hours by participating in service that is meaningful to them personally. Members have volunteered at the hospital, humane society, and some even share their talents as volunteer sports coaches or language teachers.
