National Honor Society
The National Association of Secondary School Principals founded the National Honor Society nationally in 1921. The NHS was founded to honor excellence in character, leadership, scholarship, and service. The OHS Chapter of the NHS, organized in 1973, adheres to the principles and guidelines established by the national organization. The selection process specifies candidates will be reviewed by a five-member faculty council. The faculty council shall balance equally the four previously mentioned virtues. Juniors and seniors attending OHS at least one semester and maintaining a 4.2 grade point average are eligible for membership. The faculty council meets to objectively consider candidates once a year, after the third quarter. A formal induction ceremony is held in the spring.
