National Council for the Social Studies is proud to introduce Rho Kappa, the National Social Studies Honor Society. Rho Kappa provides national recognition and opportunities for exploration in the social studies.

The Rho Kappa is the only national organization for high school juniors and seniors that recognizes excellence in the field of social studies. Any accredited public or private high school can apply for a local charter, through which it may invite students to become a member of Rho Kappa based on academic achievement in social studies, and participation in community service.
