The National Honor Society (NHS) "recognizes students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, 服务, 领导, 和性格. The organization has been committed to four main goals since its inception: to create enthusiasm for scholarship; to stimulate a desire to render 服务; to promote 领导; and to develop character in the students of secondary schools.“这些都是用来挑选成员的标准，由一个教员委员会来完成. 加州奖学金联合会(CSF)的使命是表彰和鼓励加州初高中学生的学术成就和社区服务. 会员每学期通过满足其成绩的资格要求来获得资格. SMA的CSF和NHS成员联手支持学术文化，并通过指导和辅导为他们的同龄人提供学术支持.
