Where Opportunity Meets Inspiration

National English Honor Society

The National English Honor Society (NEHS), founded and sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta, is the only international organization exclusively for secondary students and faculty who, in the field of English, merit special note for past and current accomplishments. Benefits of affiliation include academic recognition, scholarship and award eligibility, and opportunities for networking with others who share enthusiasm for, and accomplishment in, the language arts. 

Purpose
To further the importance of writing and reading beyond the classroom and to provide such opportunities for members and those beyond the club through service.

Membership Requirements

  • Must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
  • Must have consecutively completed at least two (2) Advanced English courses.
  • Must have a 3.5 GPA in Advanced English courses.
  •  Must maintain an A or B average in future Advanced English classes.
  • Complete 5 NEHS service hours or service project participation (this includes scholarship contests through NEHS and guest speakers)
  • Attend meetings. You are permitted 1 excused absence. 
  • After acceptance, pay a one-time $40 induction fee, which covers both local and national fees and a cord. 

Applications are available August 21 and are due no later than September 9th to Mrs. Paine. 

Meetings
We meet once a month in Mrs. Paine's room during Refuel to discuss service opportunities, reading and writing contests, and potential guest speakers. Meetings begin at 11:30 and usually run no more than 15–20 minutes. Attendance is mandatory.

Dues
Dues are $40 and should be paid in the 1st year of membership by the set deadline. This covers your initial membership enrollment fee, induction ceremony costs, honor cord, and our annual chapter fee. There are no dues for your remaining years of membership. New members can pay online or with a check (include driver's license number) or cash (exact amount, please). 

Communication
All communication goes through Parent/StudentSquare. Students and parents are added to the group upon acceptance to the club. Students should also listen to the announcements for reminders about meetings.
