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 honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.
In our chapter, we currently have 45 members. Currently sponsored by Ms. Ann Rogers, our chapter was founded in 1941. To become a member, the requirements are simple, yet challenging. You must pay dues of $10 and hold a 90 overall average or better. As students at Polk County High School, we are proud of our membership to not just showcase our own efforts, but to honor our school and the teachers in it.
