National Honor Society Application Examples

I am a member of my high school’s student council, Girl Scouts, and also the chaplain of my school’s drama club.

I was very active throughout high school, participating in numerous sports and clubs. Athletically, I earned varsity letters in track, swim, soccer and cross country, and was even a state qualifier in cross country. I felt it was my obligation to give back to my community and school, so I ran and won class president all four years, and was also national honor society vice president, German Club treasurer, Key Club secretary and was involved in other school organizations.

Throughout my high school career I have participated in many activities and been awarded many great honors. As a member of my high school color guard, I have led as co-captian and captain for four years, traveling across the country to compete. Beta Club has given me the opportunity to serve my local community and create a service project to reach the globe. I was asked to lead the volunteers at my church for the early service in the children's ministry area my sophomore year and I continue to serve in this position. During my junior year I was acknowledged as a junior marshal, a Wofford Scholar, and a Presbyterian College Scholar.

National Honor Society truly is a honor to be accepted into. National Honor Society represents scholarship, leadership, service, and character. I believe since I was young I have shown compassion and leadership needed in our society. That is why this is the right society for me.

National Honor Society is an exceptional organization that promotes and motivates accomplished, versatile students. In order to qualify for National Honor Society, I believe one must have the mindset of a leader accompanied by examples of a strong moral character to support it. I have been demonstrating these qualities as an ambitious students before I began high school. Throughout my entire educational career, I have always strived to be the absolute best I can be. This includes challenging myself by always taking the highest level classes that are offered and maintaining Honor Roll. Furthermore, I am a very goal oriented person and committed to achieving my dreams. For example, when I was in the 6th grade, I was introduced to the North

Joining DECA may seem an odd choice for someone who once stood paralyzed with fear in front of his 8th grade English class, stumbling through a Robert Frost poem. Starting sophomore year, I’d heard much about my high school’s largest club, DECA: a global business organization for students. Intrigued, I signed up.

I recently joined DECA. I’m not sure yet what exactly we will be doing because it hasn’t quite started, but since I’m in 8th grade I cannot compete with the older kids.

In high school I was very active in clubs and organizations. For instance, I was on the field hockey and track team. I was also president and event coordinator of the Girls Athletic Association (GAA). I was an active member of Youth Summit all throughout high school. Youth Summit members from all over the county would meet once a year to talk about and try to

Involvement in the school and maintaining high grades are essential. I have made an effort to become engaged in the various organizations and volunteer groups offered at our high school. I am part of Youth on Main Street, a club that helps out with both district and community events. I am a member of the Health Occupations Students of America, an organization that allows us to enhance our knowledge about the medical field and is the foundation for the students that wish to have a career in

As a first year student here at Olivet College, I am involved in the Gruen Chemistry Society, Middle Ground, the tennis team, and Nu Gamma Xi. These have helped me become more involved in the community. Middle

Growing up I was never an involved student. This is not to say that I didn’t try to join organizations in High School because I did. I joined Track and Field for a week and the Recycling Club for 2 weeks. My problem was never joining clubs it was feeling that I belonged to something valuable. This all changed my first semester at San Diego State when I co-founded a club that would be open to everyone. Our goal was to create an organization that made culture accessible to all students at State.

I joined the Pre-Physical Therapy club to gain a better understanding of the field and to determine this career path suited my needs. It remains wonderful how clubs like this grant the opportunity for students to peak into a field without fully committing time and money through classes. This particular club is incredible because it involved so many additional aspects. Each semester we held various volunteer events throughout the community including Relay for Life, skilled nursing facilities, and elementary schools. We also fund-raised for a variety of charities and made an effort to be known in the community. We met once every other week to learn what we could in respect to physical therapy and also invited guests to speak. The off weeks were

Doubtlessly, I consider my time in Key Club to be the one of the most valuable parts of my High School experience. Within this club, I found a second family, several leadership opportunities, and a passion for volunteer work. From events like Relay for Life and the Walk to End Alzheimer's, I learned of the immense joy that comes from seeing a smile on someone’s face and knowing that you helped put it there. Over the course of the last four years, I have successfully completed over 250 hours of community service, and hope to raise this number to 300 before I graduate high school. Moreover, I took on an executive board position, as club secretary, this past year, allowing me to become a servant leader to well over a hundred members, while developing

This club was one of my first ways of integrating back into a leadership since middle school. Pond patrol is a club where upperclassmen show upcoming freshman around campus, and give them advice on what to expect in high school. Being apart of pond patrol helped me with public speaking, and has better abled me to open up to others and help them open up to me. As well as pond patrol I had the honor of becoming a safe school ambassador for my campus where I took classes on how to stomp out bullying and create a safe environment on campus. Having found a love for pond patrol and the safe school ambassadors program I continued throughout both junior and senior year. I am also a part of a club on campus called Interact. Interact is a club that partners with rotary where students can come together and find ways to strengthen the community. I joined this organization my junior year where we participated in a number of community service projects such as the Teddy Bear Tea, and as of this year the Shoe Drive. Senior year I became the secretary of this club, and much like youth group I have been trusted with many duties such as keeping track of information on meetings and helping outline and organize activities such as the Shoe Drive. Finally in my senior year of high school I was blessed to have been able to join the on campus class of leadership. The class has

I am currently a member of the two major honors student organizations at Miracosta college, the Alpha Chi Lambda Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa and the Honors Scholar Program. I currently volunteer as an Advocate for the Honors Scholar Program to monitor the Honors lounge when no staff members are present and answer any questions students may have about the program. Without an Advocate or staff member, the lounge cannot be open so I try to be there as much as I can so people are able to utilize the space. Additionally, I Co-Founded and volunteer for the Computer Science Mentor program. Computer Science Mentoring is a new student-run organization started on campus to allow students to take advantage of the knowledge and experience their peers possess.
