National Honor Society

Established in 1929, the National Honor Society is one of the nation’s premier organizations established and governed by principals to recognize outstanding high school students who have demonstrated excellence in Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Four main purposes have guided NHS Chapters from the beginning: “To create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary schools” (from the NHS Constitution). These purposes translate into the criteria used for membership selection. Warhill is proud to recognize the following senior members in the Parke Rouse, Jr. Chapter of the National Honor Society:

The History of Warhill High School

As the third high school in Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools, the site and the name selected for Warhill High School dates back in history to June 26, 1781, when the surrounding area was involved in a major battle during the American Revolutionary War. Warhill High School cherishes its historical past but was designed to promote a promising future for its student body.

With state-of-the-art technology in all classrooms and in numerous labs, Warhill echoes the name of the road on which it exists, Opportunity Way. With the opening this high school, the advantage of having premier technology became a source of pride.

This same pride was one of eight characteristics selected by the faculty to represent the school’s goals. Courage, honor, integrity, leadership, loyalty, persistence, pride and strength have led students, faculty and staff in establishing what is called “the Warhill Way.” With the colors silver, black and Carolina blue and a lion mascot, Warhill spirit echoes throughout that there is “power in the pride.”
