On Thursday, December 15, 2011 Arcado Elementary School inducted thirty seven new members into the Astro Chapter of the National Elementary Honor Society during a special induction ceremony. 

The National Elementary Honor Society (NEHS) was established in 2008 by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) in cooperation with the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) to recognize elementary students in both public and non-public elementary schools for their outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated personal responsibility, to provide meaningful service to the school and community, and to develop essential leadership skills in the students of elementary schools.

We are very proud to be the only elementary school in Gwinnett County Public Schools to have established a local school chapter of NEHS. 

The Astro Chapter advisors are Merrill Baxley, Rachel Bell, Deborah Garner, Pamela Hart, and Carrie Moss.
