ROHS National Honor Society

Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a high school student. Our chapter of NHS has worked hard to bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers, and the community. Our chapter, along with the more than 15,000 chapters in schools across the nation, strives to give practical meaning to the Society's standards of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

These four ideals are considered as the basis for member selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Honor Society strives to recognize the total student -- one who excels in all of these areas. The standards used for selection of members in the Royal Oak High School NHS chapter are:

·      Scholarship – 3.3 + cumulative average
·      Leadership, Service, and Character—as demonstrated by activities and
     teacher and coach evaluations.

Membership, however, is more than an honor. It incurs a responsibility and an obligation to demonstrate these outstanding qualities that resulted in one’s selection. Membership also carries a responsibility to the chapter. If our chapter of the National Honor Society is to be effective and meaningful, each member must become involved. A list of chapter obligations will be provided at the first chapter meeting. Students are challenge to live up to their obligations by participating in all of our chapter meetings and projects.
