Create a foundation of caring and service with the National Elementary Honor Society.
As part of the National Honor Societies, the National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) is the beginning of a long-standing legacy of service, leadership, and caring. An NEHS chapter at your school not only allows your young learners to develop foundational skills at a critical age, but it also places them on the path for lifelong success as a member of the Honor Society family.

-
I enjoy being involved in the community and being able to guide my students in enrichment activities that help build good character and strengthen their love for service.
