The purpose of the National Honor Society (NHS) is to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools.

 

Application information will be sent to students that meet the scholarship criteria in late January. You can watch for this email with scholarship information included.

Membership Criteria

At Waukee Schools, membership is open for juniors and seniors only. Students are selected based on the following four pillars:

    • Scholarship (cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher)
    • Service
    • Leadership
    • Character

Current NHS members are required to log a minimum of 10 service hours from August through April of their senior year. After service has taken place the hours should be submitted via this NHS Service Form.

Here is a list of Service Opportunities!

*Service hours cannot be counted for both Silver Cord and NHS*
