• NHS National Honor Society

  • The Newberry High School National Honor Society is part of the nationwide organization for high school students in the United States and outlying territories, which consists of many chapters in high schools. Selection is based on four criteria: scholarship (academic achievement), leadership, service, and character. Eligible students are invited to join the NHS National Honor Society during the 10th grade. Please review the NHS Constitution for invitation criteria and other important information. Members participate in meetings and schoolwide incentives for academic excellence. The NHS National Honor Society hosts the Children's Miracle Network Dance Marathon (UF) every year and had a record-breaking fundraising event in 2022-23.

    Sponsor: Jennifer Troy (troyjl@gm.sbac.edu)

    Meetings are held bi-weekly on Wednesday mornings before school at 8:00 am in Mrs. Troy's classroom. Meeting reminders will be announced during the Morning/Afternoon Announcements!
