National Honor Society is a nationwide organization for high school students. Juniors are selected to join based off four principles: scholarship, leadership, service and character. While being selected to join NHS is an accomplishment itself, it further challenges students to become active in their school and community through volunteer service. More than one million students nationwide are estimated to participate in NHS, 68 of which are from right here at Paducah Tilghman.
