Recent achievements include an All-District vocalist (one of the top 35 in the Kansas City Metro), an All-State violinist (ranked among the top 35 in Missouri), and two vocalists who placed 1st in both District and State competitions.

National Honor Society

The National Honor Society & National Junior Honor Society are the nation’s premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle-level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS honors those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service,  and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS). These characteristics  have been associated with membership in the organization since  their beginnings in 1921 & 1929.

Students may not apply for membership in the National Honor Society. Membership is granted only to those students selected by the faculty council (National NHS Handbook. 11). “Candidates must have a cumulative scholastic average of at least 3.0….Candidates will then be evaluated on the basis of service, leadership, and character” (National NHS Handbook. 5). NHS members and prospective candidates serve their school, classmates, and community by demonstrating leadership in promoting school activities, academics and service, both in the school and in the community; in addition, they pledge to uphold the highest principles of morality and ethics.
