Congratulations to the first ever, IVLA National Honor Society members! The following 10 IVLA students have been granted membership to the NHS. We are extremely proud of what these students have accomplished, as the National Honor Society membership requirements are quite strict. We look forward to seeing how this first semester with this national organization progresses, and we're eager to see the contributions that these IVLA students make to their community.

Remember, joining the National Honors Society through an online high school like IVLA offers two times per year to become a member of the NHS. If you or a student you know applied and were not accepted, you may apply again later this year.

If you have any questions about the NHS and how it works with IVLA, please feel free to call us at 877.878.6001.
