When the National Honor Society was founded in 1921, it’s goal was to recognize and encourage academic achievement while also developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. These ideals remain as relevant today as they were when the organization was founded. The National Honor Society member has already exhibited academic achievement, leadership, honorable and admirable character, and the willingness to serve for the improvement of society. For these reasons, membership in the National Honor Society is both an honor and a commitment.

The Navigator chapter of the National Honor Society was established in 2000 at Henry Ford Academy. The requirements for our chapter include the maintenance of a 3.5 grade point average, required community service, and demonstration of leadership and character.
