About National Honor Society (NHS)
National Honor Society is an organization formed by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) to recognize academic achievement and promote leadership and character development in the school.
A major tenet of National Honor Society is the commitment to community service. Each student member of the Bloomfield Hills High School Chapter of National Honor Society completes additional hours of community service beyond the service hours required for graduation, a portion of which is devoted to academic tutoring and peer mentoring. NHS applications will be sent to all sophomores and juniors who meet the NHS requirements are eligible to apply at the beginning of second semester to participate in the BHHS chapter for the following school year.
