The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students.  NHS strives to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character.

Admission to NHS is an honor given to students. It is not a right and is not something that can be earned. It is intended to be an award to recognize the combination of outstanding scholarship, character, leadership, and service exhibited by a student. In fact, by National norms, students are not supposed to solicit or ambition membership. Neither students, faculty members, nor parents are permitted to take the initiative by lobbying for the admission of a particular student. Those who qualify will be considered, and those elected will be "tapped" for membership. The ideal is that students study to learn and do service to help others rather than study for grades or do service simply to gain admission to the Honor Society.

PAST PROJECTS

Halloween Walk for Hurlock: Sunday, November 6, 2011

NHS members held a charity walk at Creaser Park in Coventry to raise money for the American Cancer Society in memory of late teacher and coach Matt Hurlock. Many students, families, and community members came out to support the cause, with some people even sporting costumes in the Halloween spirit! Overall, the event raised more than $2600 for the Cancer Society!

Food & Toiletries Drives

In past years, NHS collected food and toiletries items before the holidays and again in the spring to provide much needed resources to families in our community through the Coventry Food Bank.

Coventry Walks for Autism: November, 2010

Last fall NHS members organized a charity walk to raise money for the Autism Society. Numerous members of the school and community collected pledges and walked on the track with music playing and refreshments available all in support of raising awareness and much needed funding for austim research. Board of education member Mark Malcolm spoke to attendees about his experiences raising a son with austism. Altogether the event raised over $2800 for the Autism Society!!
