America's first honor society was founded in 1776, but high school students didn't have access to such organizations for another 150 years. Since then, high school honor societies have been developed in leadership, drama, journalism, French, Spanish, mathematics, the sciences, and in various other fields, but not in English. Until now! As Joyce Carol Oates writes, "This is the time for which we have been waiting." Or perhaps it was William Shakespeare: "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer . . . ." The National English Honor Society (NEHS), founded and endorsed by Sigma Tau Delta, is the only national organization exclusively for high school students and faculty who, in the field of English, merit special note for past and current accomplishments.
