National Honor Society Legacy
Since its establishment, the National Honor Society has been built upon the core values of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Throughout the years, National Honor Society has upheld these pillars, and its outstanding club members strive to embody these values in every aspect of their lives. However, these four principles add up to become something much more over the course of National Honor Society’s lifetime -- its legacy.

These same skills required to become a member of the club are the same skills that will represent the club throughout its continuation and eventually shift to become the legacy of the club that others will remember them by. The idea of legacy greatly depends on the characteristics of the club members and cabinets -- as well as the original creator. In order for the club to have a lasting reputation, it must be established by a founder that has all the valuable qualities to form a prideful legacy that shapes its future club
