National Honor Society

Gwynn Park High School holds an affiliation with the high school chapter of National Honor Society for students in grades 10 through 12. Membership in the NHS is about more than just achieving academic success. Students chosen to join this organization exhibit outstanding performance in the areas of Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Character. These criteria form the foundation upon which this organization is built.

Students are selected after an application process, which is then presented to a board of committee members to be evaluated. Upon selection, an induction ceremony is held, welcoming the newly chosen members.  Students are required to help with service projects provided by the school each year, and attend certain events. NHS members also meet monthly to share how they maintain performance in the areas of Scholarship, Service, Leadership and Character.  Services provided to the student body include lunch time tutoring. We also participate in service projects to raise money and/or resources for charities.

Meeting Dates: Meetings will be bimonthly on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month.  The 1st Tuesday will be in person and the 3rd Tuesday will be a virtual meeting.  Meeting can be called more often especially in the months around the induction ceremony.
