National honor society for dance arts

In April 2013, ECHS Dance became a Chapter of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts. The mission of the NHSDA is to recognize outstanding artistic merit, leadership, and academic achievement in dance students. The goals of NHSA include promoting a desire for life-long learning in the field of dance, and encouraging an understanding of and appreciation for dance as an art form. Students complete an official application and induction process for membership, are eligible for national and state awards, and graduate with Honors in Dance. Since 2013, our chapter has inducted 99 dancers into this honor society.
