The 2026 Adrian High School National Honor Society (NHS) held its annual induction ceremony on March 4, 2025. Ten Blackhawks were inducted into NHS. NHS is an organization that recognizes high school students for excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Students are selected based on their academic achievement, involvement in school activities, commitment to community service, and strong moral character. Members are encouraged to give back to their school and community while continuing to strive for academic success.

Congratulations to the the newest NHS Members!
