More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its inception in 1921. Students are nominated for membership in the St. Mary's High School chapter of NHS after their 1st semester sophomore year or junior year. Requirements for NHS include a cumulative GPA of 3.85 or higher, service hours completed, leadership qualifications. Retainment of membership each year requires at least 5 NHS-approved events, annual dues, and attendance at monthly meetings.
