The most prestigious academic organization in any high school is the National Honor Society. Sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the NHS promotes scholarship, character, leadership and service--all attributes of the whole person that fit coherently with the Characteristics of Marianist Education.
Qualifications for NHS membership may be found in the Student-Parent Handbook.
NHS inductions are conducted two times a year, in October--using grades from the prior school year and summer, and in March-April--using first semester grades. The spring induction also honors HSPT scholarship winners in the incoming freshman class.
NHS members provide active service to their younger CCHS brothers by tutoring regularly before and after school.
