National Honor Society
Here at Dominion Academy, our students strive to live out the four pillars of the National Honor Society—scholarship, leadership, service, and character—values that closely align with our Student Honor Code. Membership in NHS is highly regarded by our students and represents a meaningful commitment to excellence. As an active and engaged organization, NHS members regularly serve our school and broader community through leadership and service opportunities.
NHS service projects and activities include:
- Our annual Classical Coffee House to encourage student musical talent and raise funds for various local and global projects
- Hands and Hearts Workday – an all-school community service project at the end of the school year.
- Community service projects supporting the Dayton Ronald McDonald House
- The Dominion Academy NHS chapter also maintains a very successful peer-to-peer tutoring program.
Eligibility
- Scholarship: a student (grade 10-12) must have a GPA of at least 3.25
- Service: This involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation.
- Leadership: Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea contributors. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.
- Character: The student of good character is cooperative; demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability; shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others; and generally maintains a clean disciplinary record.
Students who meet the scholarship requirement will have an opportunity to complete a form - and an essay - detailing their accomplishments in and commitment to service, leadership, and character.
