The members of Arapahoe's National Honor Society view the club as an active service organization that fosters the values of not only scholarship, but also leadership, character, and service.  In order to make membership more than honorary, the students involved with NHS have chosen to require volunteer service as a part of ongoing membership.

You should plan to complete 20 hours of service each semester.  In addition, you should participate in at least one club activity each semester.  Use a Service Log form to record your service hours and the signatures of the supervisors who can verify your service.
