NEHS, founded and sponsored by Sigma Tau Delta, is the only international organization exclusively for secondary students and faculty who, in the field of English, merit special note for past and current accomplishments. Individual secondary schools are invited to petition for a local chapter, through which individuals may be inducted into Society membership. Darcey and Jackson were members of Dominican’s Veritas Chapter of NEHS. Veritas Chapter members must have a 3.75 average in English and a 3.5 Grade Point Average. Veritas Chapter head moderator is Kristin Thomas and Charlene Ford is co-moderator.
