Service Learning

National Honor Society (NHS)

Overview

The National Honor Society (NHS) at the American School of Douala recognizes students in grades 10–12 who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. As part of the internationally respected NHS organization, our chapter upholds the highest standards of academic integrity, civic responsibility, and personal growth. NHS membership is both an honor and a commitment; a recognition of past achievement and a pledge to uphold the values of the society in future endeavors.
At ASD, membership in the NHS is both a prestigious recognition and a meaningful responsibility. Our NHS members are leaders in and out of the classroom. They serve as role models for the school community and actively contribute to initiatives that promote service learning, school spirit, and community engagement. NHS members at ASD serve as role models and student leaders who actively contribute to our school community and represent ASD’s values beyond the classroom.
