Established in 1921
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 honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since their beginnings in 1921.

Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their accomplishments, but challenges them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.  Thurgood Marshall’s chapter was established in 2006.  Induction takes place during spring semester of a student’s sophomore and junior year based on their GPA and application.  Letters of interest are sent out to potential candidates in March.  Applications are distributed and submitted in April and Induction is the second Thursday in May.

Requirements:

Sophomores and juniors with an 85 GPA (3.4 on a 4.0 scale) are invited to apply in the Spring Semester of their sophomore and junior year.
