The National Honor Society (NHS) is an organization that recognizes the achievement and intellect of juniors and seniors at Harrison Central High School who not only excel in their classes, but also demonstrate the characteristics of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Membership is by invitation only for Juniors and Seniors. Every year the NHS participates in many service projects such as the Mississippi Coastal Cleanup, Salvation Army Blood Drive, and an “Unsung Heroes” luncheon for the uncertified staff of HCHS. Each student is required to complete 20 hours of community service, not including chapter service projects, in order to remain a member of the society. Seniors are rewarded at graduation with a distinguished, light blue stole. Members also receive the NHS emblem on their diploma.
