Oak Hill Academy students inducted into National Honor Society

The National Honor Society inducts Oak Hill Academy students

On Thursday, March 18, Oak Hill Academy hosted the induction of seven students into the National Honor Society.

These students include new members Markus (12th), Margaret (12th), Cole (12th), Anna (11th), Emeka (12th), Alexander (11th), and Jervonio (12th).

Inductees recited the National Honor Society pledge, promising to “maintain and encourage high standards of all four pillars: scholarship, service, leadership and character.”
About the National Honor Society

The National Honor Society—or NHS—is an organization that recognizes “scholarship, service, leadership, and character (hyperlink to NHS site)” within high school students.

Oak Hill Academy students exemplify the values of the NHS through academic achievement, community engagement, and overall involvement in school. These values were honored through the induction of seven students into the NHS.

How students are selected

To be inducted into the NHS, students must meet the requirements set by Oak Hill’s NHS chapter.

Each NHS chapter can implement their own requirements independent from NHS’s. At Oak Hill, students must

  • have a GPA of 90 or above for the entirety of their high school career
  • have been attending Oak Hill for at least a full semester.

When these prerequisites are fulfilled, the NHS selection committee then discusses the service, leadership, and character of each candidate.

The candidates who receive a unanimous vote for acceptance are then selected for induction.

Benefits of National Honor Society membership

The NHS offers members different benefits which serve to improve future college applications and academic resumes.

Members are required to satisfy community service hours, which makes a college application more appealing.

In addition, the NHS offers different leadership conferences and opportunities, which helps students develop crucial communication skills.

For those who qualify, the NHS also offers college scholarships.

Oak Hill’s contribution

Oak Hill Academy strives to be an environment where young minds can grow.

By providing opportunities within a structured, supportive, and nurturing environment, students are able to succeed and achieve confidence.

Oak Hill is incredibly proud of their newest National Honor Society inductees and excited to see their future developments and contributions. Congratulations, Warriors!
