Cultivate Passionate Student Leaders With NEHS

It’s never too early to introduce a legacy of leadership, especially when your learners are so eager to soak up the world around them. With a National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) chapter at your school, your students have a place where their passion can blossom as they develop into confident young leaders.

Support Your Advisers

Motivating and supporting student success is one of teaching’s greatest rewards, and NEHS equips your advisers to be part of your students’ growth beyond the classroom. Adviser resources include:

Online chapter management assistance and tools offered in our Adviser Resource Center, as well as support from expert national staff by phone and email
The NEHS Flex Guide, which can help adjust chapter procedures to accommodate challenges such as remote learning, pass/fail grading policies, and more.
Idea exchange utilizing a National Student Project Database—fully accessible by NEHS affiliates only—so you can get your next best idea for a service project or recognition ceremony
Our quarterly e-newsletter, NEHS E-News, keeping you up to date on current events with the program.
An online store for purchase of official insignia, apparel, supplies, and NEHS affiliate-discounted publications

Living the NEHS Pillars

NEHS promotes the pillars of scholarship and responsibility early on. Through exploration of each pillar, student members learn many valuable life lessons, including the importance of personal responsibility and giving back to the community.

Tools for Their Future

An NEHS chapter brings with it exclusive tools and resources for your early leaders that not only help them in their endeavors as NEHS student members, but leave a lasting impact on them during a critical developmental age. With NEHS, you unlock:

Culture of Caring. NEHS fosters character development and future academic success. In fact, one of the strengths of NEHS is its emphasis on the importance of both character and academics, putting student members on a path to becoming well-rounded individuals.
Springboard to Leadership. When you adopt the NEHS program, you set your students up for success throughout their academic careers. Younger students also look up to your budding leaders, motivating your entire student body and uplifting your school culture.
“Leadership Is…” Webinar Series. In this leadership coaching series created especially for an elementary audience, student leaders are invited to build their leadership mindset by reflecting on what leadership truly is.
Service Planning Mindset. NEHS advisers get unlimited access to service planning templates and resources, including nearly 10,000 project ideas in the National Student Project Database. This creates a “give back” mindset and weaves continued service into the everyday of a learning community.
