National Honor Society

The National Honor Society (NHS) is an esteemed organization that recognizes 10th–12th grade students for their achievements in the four pillars: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Students with excellence in academics are invited to apply to the PACA NHS Chapter, and a Faculty Council of five members evaluates the students based on the three additional pillars of leadership, service, and character.
Being part of the NHS offers students several important benefits:

1. Leadership Development – Students gain opportunities to develop essential leadership skills through service projects and school activities, preparing them for future academic and professional success.
2. Community Service Involvement – NHS members engage in meaningful service projects that allow them to give back to the community while cultivating empathy and a sense of responsibility.
3. College and Career Advantages – NHS membership is a prestigious achievement that strengthens college applications and demonstrates a commitment to excellence and service.

A detailed description of the selection procedures is attached at the link below and will also be published in the 2025-26 Student Handbook.
