Become A Member

National Honor Society (NHS) is more than just an honor roll. The The Dr. Roberta K. Gaines Chapter of the NHS has established rules for membership that are based upon a student's outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These criteria for selection form the foundation upon which the organization and its activities are built.
