Since 1921, the National Honor Society has been the leading organization for recognizing high school students’ academic achievements. Prior to its creation, local communities had their own educational organizations, but none that united students and educators nationwide. By 1930, the NHS grew from one school to over 1,000 chapters, thanks to the leadership of Dr. Edward Rynearson, a principal in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Over 100 years later, more than 1 million students in 50 states, multiple U.S. territories, and Canada are members. NHS formally recognizes and celebrates academic excellence.
