• 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.

    Meetings

    We will meet once a month during Refuel to discuss service opportunities, reading and writing contests, and potential guest speakers. 

    Membership

    Membership is an honor bestowed on students selected for their accomplishments in the field of English and in overall academic achievement. NEHS provides recognition for past achievements, the nurturing of present interests, and encouragement for future success. NEHS is the organization for students who have experienced the power of literature, the pleasures of good writing, and the excitement of language studies.
