The National Honor Society is an organization that helps to create enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulate a desire to render service, promote leadership, and develop character in the students of secondary schools. We offer the National Honor Society for our 10th-12th grade students and the National Junior Honor Society for our 7th-9th grade students.
There are many reasons to be a part of such an organization:
1. NJHS and NHS are prestigious organizations and look excellent on college and job applications.
2. Students have the opportunity to complete community service hours.
3. Students will hone skills such as leadership, collaboration, teamwork, and creative brainstorming.
4. Students will have opportunities to interact with other students at Pacific Coast Academy.
