The National Honor Society (NHS) and the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation’s premier organizations recognizing outstanding middle level and high school students who demonstrate excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The NHS and NJHS are proudly sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
Our chapter of the National Honor Society is committed to scholarship, leadership, service, and character within our school and the greater community. Each year, members organize and participate in meaningful service projects, including our annual Trunk-or-Treat event and the creation of Holiday Gift Bags for children at PACE Head Start in New Bedford. In the spring, members also lead a school-wide outdoor cleanup to help maintain and beautify our campus. Through these activities, NHS members strive to make a positive impact while developing leadership skills and a strong sense of civic responsibility.
The Old Colony Chapter of the National Honor Society has received national recognition for its community service endeavors on numerous occasions. The OC Chapter also participates annually in national and state conventions.
