The Hardin-Jefferson chapter of The National Honor Society is an organization

that up holds the national standards of character, leadership, scholarship, and service.  It

recognizes and encourages academic achievement while also developing well rounded

service oriented citizens. Invitations to this organization are sent out to Juniors in the

Spring.  A five member Faculty Council reviews the applications.  Those that uphold

the standard in all four areas mentioned above are inducted in May.  The inductees

serve as the organizations active members for their following, Senior, school year.  

H-J's NHS has many projects through out the year.  The Angel Tree sevices 

under privledged childeren at Christmas. The Thanksgiving Food Drive collects food 

for the local food pantry. The students collect money in October for breast cancer 

awareness as well as participate in the Gift of Life 5k. A Backpack program is run 

by this organization to help feed high school students that do not have meals on the 

weekend.  

If you have any questions about NHS feel free to contact me at any time.
