National Art Honor Society Creating Student Leaders through NAHS at MRHS
Welcome. Please come in, sign in and and have a seat.
What is National Art Honor Society? The National Art Honor Society (NAHS) is designed specifically for high school students in grades 9-12. In 1978, the National Art Education Association began the National Art Honor Society program to inspire and recognize students who have shown an outstanding ability and interest in art. The NAHS strives to aid members in attaining the highest standards in art scholarship, character, and service, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and community.
What is our Mission? As a club, we constantly strive to find new and innovative ways to implement art into our everyday lives through on-site events, large scale projects, community service, and more. As an honors society, we always welcome members who are skilled at or interested in the visual arts. Our new chapter is sponsored by Mrs. Dowling, Art Teacher and Art Department Chair.
The purposes of the National Art Honor Society at MRHS are to: A. Inspire and recognize those students who have shown ability in art. B. Foster excellence and a dedicated spirit to the pursuit of art C. Further creative abilities and talents of the Society’s members, as well as the school’s entire student art enrollment. D. Aid members in working toward the attainment of their highest potential in an art area; E. Bring art to the attention of the school and community; G. Further aesthetic awareness in all aspects of the school’s art program

Election of Officers An NAHS chapter is only as active as its leadership, so careful consideration must be given to the selection of candidates for office. •The MRHS Chapter of the National Art Honor Society is a service organization. The officers must have a deep commitment to carry out the duties of their respective offices and must not be selected on the basis of popularity alone. A nominating committee is charged with the responsibility of preparing a slate of officers with the sponsor participating in the nomination process in order to provide additional insights in the candidate’s character and performance. Some of the qualities to look for are:
President The art student considered for the office of NAHS President must exhibit leadership qualities and the ability to engender enthusiasm for chapter activities and to follow through to a successful completion. –Presides at all chapter meetings. –Prepares agendas and discusses these with the sponsor before meetings. –Represents the NAHS Chapter in any school club organizational meetings. –Conducts the duties of the Office of President in a business-like manner. –Works closely with the sponsor in planning chapter activities –social, educational, and service to the school and community –as well as fundraising projects. –Maintains productive ongoing committees that will ensure a smoothly operating chapter. –Follows through, carrying all chapter endeavors to completion.
