AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School NHS Chapter Wins National Award

For its exemplary record of leadership, service, and efforts to improve the school and community, the National Honor Society awarded AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School the Chapter of Distinction award. NHS is supported by its parent organization, the National Principals Association (NPA), which also oversees the National Association of Student Councils.

This past year, AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School’s National Honor Society members paired academic excellence with a commitment to helping others succeed. Through peer tutoring and collaboration with teachers, they have supported student achievement and helped create a welcoming school environment where students feel encouraged to learn. Their leadership extends beyond the classroom as they have organized fundraisers and made large time commitments to help the underserved members of our community.

"The NHS Chapter of Distinction Award celebrates chapters that truly embody what the National Honor Society stands for—students who don't just excel academically but actively strengthen their communities," said NPA CEO Ronn Nozoe. "The AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School chapter demonstrates how powerful it can be when young leaders channel their talents toward meaningful service and positive change." The NHS Chapters of Distinction is a national recognition program created by NHS to honor chapters that demonstrate strong leadership, sound operations, and a deep commitment to the pillars of the Honor Society. This distinction recognizes chapters that meet all Essential Standards and excel in key areas such as student governance and leadership development.
