National Honor Society Mission Statement
The National Honor Society (NHS) is one of the nation’s leading organizations established to identify outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the 4 NHS pillars of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. With a history of many outstanding and successful members, the Brooklyn Technical High School National Honor Society is dedicated to continuing this longstanding NHS tradition. Its purpose is to provide services to the school community as well as the local community, whether it is through volunteering at local organizations, tutoring students, mentoring, assisting school faculty, or helping out during major school events. If help is needed within Brooklyn Technical High School, we have always been there and will always be there to help with some of the best students that the school has to offer.
As a student run organization (with the leadership and advice of our advisor, Mr. Joseph Kaelin, and our committee advisors), the Brooklyn Technical High School National Honor Society aims to reach out to exemplary students at Brooklyn Technical High School. To us, exemplary means those who are able to maintain their GPA and keep up with their extracurricular activities while performing benevolent services to their peers and to the community.
With close to 600 members currently in the Brooklyn Technical High School National Honor Society, each member participates in one of 12 different committees, each with a special delegated task in order to better assist the students, staff and faculty of the school as well as the local community. These 12 committees are Academic Recognition, Alumni, College Services, Communications, Community Services, Fundraising, Induction, Mentoring, Parent Services, School Environment, Tours, and Tutoring.
Although all members are already leaders in their own respect, they are also invited to become leaders within the Brooklyn Technical High School National Honor Society as well as in the school community in order to build leadership qualities. For instance, junior members can apply to become Junior Chairpersons of their respective committees, and senior members can apply to become Senior Chairpersons or Officers.
