Wauwatosa East High School National Honor Society

NHS Logo

Welcome to National Honor Society. No two educational journeys are the same. Some may look similar, but taking certain courses, course loads, participating in specific activities, and achieving coveted honors and prizes do not define values. National Honor Society is founded on four value pillars which strive to place a much-needed emphasis and spotlight on whole-person growth in school settings. National Honor Society membership is invitation-only and a specific honor. Each of our members will work to model the four pillars in their everyday lives as Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character are shared values of our school and community.

The Four Pillars of National Honor Society

Scholarship	Scholarship is a commitment to learning and growing on an educational path. It means making the most of the educational opportunities provided and seeking out learning, not only in school or similar settings, but also personally. Scholarship requires effort and it stems from a desire to contribute to this world in a positive way by building on one’s own knowledge, skills, and talent through different experiences.
Service	Service is seeking out and engaging in meaningful service. It calls for a service mindset, the desire to seek opportunities to help others as well as acts of service. Service is seeing a need and fulfilling it voluntarily. Sometimes it’s driven by a passion for a specific cause or people in need. Other times, it’s driven by personal or family need, like taking care of siblings or other family members, or maybe even working part-time to help with family finance.
Leadership	Leadership builds on Service. Service and leadership oftentimes look very similar. Leadership is carrying oneself with dignity and taking ownership and responsibility for one’s own actions and participation. Being a public speaker, playing quarterback, or having an official title is not required to be considered a leader. Leadership means being an agent—someone who takes action and responsibility—of your own pathway.
Character	Character is valuing diverse cultures and building relationships that reflect love of self but also concern for others. There are endless attributes to good character: perseverance, respect, integrity, honesty, sacrifice—the list goes on. Good and noble character is a high calling. Oftentimes we don’t “see” character unless there is a public display of self-sacrifice, or more often, a very public mistake. Character is not about praiseworthy or blameworthy behavior but the personal commitment to ethical and compassionate decision making that affects oneself and others.
