How can I best prepare for possible membership in NHS?

Students should continue to do their very best to demonstrate high standards of scholarship and leadership. Maintain strong grades, participate in activities and clubs that are meaningful to you, and serve in leadership positions when possible.

In addition, students should seek opportunities to serve others in our community with the primary intent of contributing to the common good. Most importantly, students should always continue to demonstrate strong character.
