As quoted from https://www.arteducators.org,
"The National Art Honor Society (NAHS) is designed specifically for high school students in grades 9-12. In 1978, the National Art Education Association began the National Art Honor Society program to inspire and recognize students who have shown an outstanding ability and interest in art. The NAHS strives to aid members in attaining the highest standards in art scholarship, character, and service, and to bring art education to the attention of the school and community."
The National Art Honor Society chapter at Shippensburg Area Senior High School aims to fulfill the above statement by making art a viable and visible part of the community in Shippensburg, PA. Art is something to be appreciated, yes, however it needs to be taught, encouraged, and ongoing. Our chapter pushes art community forward by challenging young artists and providing them with creative outlets.
We welcome all. Our members have a passion for art and creating. We foster creative intelligence by taking part in events and activities that require it.
