The National Honor Society is a nationwide organization dedicated to recognizing outstanding high school students and to better them in the process. Members follow four important attributes: strong scholarship, giving back to the community, leading, and building character.

Within the organization, hundreds of hours of service have been given back to the community, strong leadership skills are demonstrated every day, and students show a high desire for academic achievement by maintaining more than a 3.6 grade point average.

Austin High School is proud to congratulate all inductees and returning members into the National Honor Society.
