The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

The mission of the National STEM Honor Society (NSTEM) is to inspire innovation and recognize student excellence from K to Career in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. We believe in NSTEM from the start—from K to Career—and in leveling the playing field through IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access). As a leader in STEM education, NSTEM unlocks the benefits of project-based learning (PBL) on students' journeys from early childhood through rewarding careers. NSTEM focuses on creating inclusive learning environments for your community that highlight diversity in the STEM industry. Other major focuses of NSTEM include mentorship, opportunities, growth mindset, workshops, empowerment, inspiring and supporting incredible students, training options, occupations, internships, confidence, gender equity, and breaking biases.
