NHS places a lot of emphasis on leadership. This essay is where you tell the NHS sponsors about your leadership positions during your high school career. Be specific; remember that you do not have to be an officer in a club to show leadership. This essay must be typed. The prompt for the essay is described in the document labeled “Essay Prompt.” To see an example of the format and content of the essays, view the document labeled “Essay Sample.” Please upload your Leadership Essay onto Schoology.

TEACHER CHARACTER ASSESSMENT FORMS
We've made a change in the application process. You will just be asking teachers to fill out the form directly. Prior to submitting the Prospective Member Packet, ask 5 teachers (two current teachers and three past teachers) to fill out the online teacher character assessment form for you. In your Prospective Member Packet, please list the teachers that you've asked. Below is a sample email you could send to your teacher when requesting for a character assessment. |
