NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY

The Laurel Chapter of the National Honor Society of Dwight Township High School received its charter on the eighth day of October in Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-One. The chapter was the 1,129th chapter to be established. Our charter is signed by Edward Rynearson, Founder of the National Honor Society in 1921. Mr. Rynearson was Principal of the Fifth Avenue High School.

Now there are over 20,000 National Honor Society Chapters throughout the United States and its possessions.

Candidates for induction must first qualify on the basis of scholarship. After qualifying the candidates are evaluated by a Faculty Committee on the basis of Character, Leadership and Service.

This is one of the highest honors a Dwight Township High School Student can receive and it is with pride that the new members are presented for induction.
