National English Honor Society is a high school organization for students that excel in various aspects of high school English. Students are invited to join NEHS in the spring of their Sophomore and Junior years. In order to remain active in Thomas Jefferson's chapter of NEHS, members must maintain As and Bs in all English classes, complete 6 service hours (2 must be academic), and participate in NEHS activities and meetings.
Thomas Jefferson's NHS participates in tutoring and school events such as festivals and dances at various schools in Jefferson Parish.
