Academic Society and Competitions : Striving for Excellence

Academic societies are organizations, often with the word 'honor' in their titles, which invite students to join.

The National Honor Society, National Beta Club, and Cum Laude Society all select their members.

Students who excel in a particular subject may qualify for academic honor societies such as the National Art Honor Society, the Science National Honor Society, and Mu Alpha Theta, the National Mathematics Honor Society.

Athletes are not the only competitors who win trophies for their schools.

Academically talented students bring recognition to their schools as winners of contests and quiz bowls that challenge their minds and showcase their skills. "Academic Societies: Striving for Excellence" describes the distinguished academic organizations and challenging academic competitions available to middle and high school students.
