What is National Honor Society?

National Honor Society (NHS) is an honorary organization that recognizes student academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, and community service.

Why apply for membership?

Membership in this organization is an immediate flag for potential employers, colleges, and scholarship committees that the faculty of your high school recognized you as an outstanding member of the school community. It is a prestigious award and highly recognized.

What do I need to apply?

Applying to NHS is open to sophomores and juniors who possess the following qualities: a cumulative grade point average of 3.55 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher; show evidence of satisfactory participation in multiple athletic and academic activities at Waconia High School; perform a minimum of 40 and up to 80 additional hours of community service; and one’s character must be held in high esteem.

When do I apply?

Applications for membership to the Waconia High School National Honor Society Chapter are due to the NHS Adviser Nelia Von Glan (nvonglan@isd110.org) on or before March 31, 2023. Applications will then be reviewed and voted on by the NHS Selection Committee and students will be notified in writing of their acceptance status. An induction ceremony will be held in the spring to recognize all new and returning NHS members.
