The National Honor Society ranks as one of the oldest and most prestigious national organizations for high school students. Chapters exist in more than 60% of the nation’s high schools. Since 1921, millions of students have been selected for membership. Millions of dollars in scholarships have been awarded since 1945 by the sponsoring organization, the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP).
