The National Honor Society is an organization that aims to enrich and sustain FDR High School as well as the surrounding community. The National Honor Society cultivates leadership through community service. Here is some information regarding the National Honor Society.

*The National Honor Society is considered a secret organization among the members and the staff.

*National Honor Society members do various community services in and outside of school.

*In order to become an honored member of NHS, one must have and maintain a 90% average, go through a rigorous application process, and finally, have an interest in developing leadership skills.

*As a member of the National Honor Society, I would like to say that the best activity was taping FDR High School staff members to the wall.
