SCIENCE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
______________________________________________________________________________
The United States has been honoring brilliant students through honor societies since 1921. Educators began to
notice the need for subject specific honor societies in America’s high schools in the 1980s. Since
then, new honor societies have been created to recognize and encourage students in areas such as science. In this era of rapidly
changing technologies and scientific advancement, it is important to encourage and recognize
high school students in the sciences.
