The club celebrates the Arabic language and cultures. This club is for students taking Arabic Courses. 

The club’s major focus is to take history outside the classroom and explore it in a much more personal way.  Admission is not granted by merely signing a piece of paper.  Candidates must maintain a high average in their history class and prove their proficiency in the subject by passing a test.  We welcome and embrace those who display a passion to delve deeper into the roots of the greatest story in human history.

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of academics, leadership, service, and character. These characteristics have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921. Juniors at St. Augustine Prep may become eligible to apply to the NHS upon completion of their fifth semester. Students must have a weighted cumulative GPA of 93 or higher and be in good disciplinary standing in order to be invited to apply to the NHS. Students are then required to supply evidence of community service and leadership by submitting a resume and essay for review. A committee of five faculty members reviews the NHS applications and makes a decision on membership.
