National English Honor Society

The National English Honor Society recognizes the academic accomplishments of America’s high school students and promotes their continuing interest in the English Language Arts.

NEHS is the only high school honor society exclusively for English students. As such, it provides a unique opportunity to engage students, teachers, and local schools in the valuable experience of discipline-related national honor society participation.

Membership is an honor given to students selected for their accomplishments in the discipline of English and overall academic achievement at Mountain Vista High School. NEHS is a national organization for students who have experienced the power of literature, the pleasures of good writing, and the excitement of language studies. For these students, the MVHS NEHS provides:

  • National recognition for outstanding achievements.
  • Scholarships.
  • Enlightened involvement in the English experience, especially through non-classroom participation.
  • Distinction on college and job applications.
  • Opportunities to develop leadership skills; publication opportunities.
  • A means to link with other students, locally and nationally, who share similar interests.
