Who are we?
The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921. Leon High School has had the Pierian Chapter of NHS since 1940.
Is Pierian right for me?
Membership in the National Honor Society is an ongoing process governed by four tenets: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The faculty advisory council decides all issues related to these tenets. The following traits are among those considered by the council when determining membership eligibility. Members must demonstrate the following traits:
Integrity: Possess uprightness of character, sound moral principles, absolute truthfulness and honesty.
Dependability: Honor their commitments.
Initiative: Identify needs and take actions to fulfill them.
Tact: Interact others without creating offense.
Justice: Be impartial and consistent when exercising leadership.
Enthusiasm: Display sincere interest and exuberance in the performance of duties.
Decorum: Create a favorable impression in carriage, appearance and personal conduct at all times.
Judgment: Weigh facts and possible solutions to make sound decisions.
Unselfishness: Avoid providing for their personal comfort and advancement at the expense of others.
Commitment: Work with others to improve the quality of what we do at school, at home, and in the community.
