Osborn-Boles Chapter of the National Honor Society

The Cherokee Indian Chapter of the National

Honor Society was chartered in 1940, and in

the ensuing 77 years has gained a

reputation as one of the outstanding

organizations in Jacksonville High School.

In May 1984, the name of the local chapter

was changed to the Osborn-Boles Chapter

in honor of E. G. Osborn, who at that time

was retiring as principal after 25 years in that

post, and Lois Boles, who had been the

faculty adviser of NHS for many years.
