「 Computer science is not merely a discipline—
it's the room where all the other disciplines meet. 」
The Computer Science Honor Society recognizes students who demonstrate excellence in computer science while fostering a community of collaborative learning and service.
Founded in 2023, ja.CSHS provides a space for students to pursue projects beyond the classroom, develop technical skills through hands-on experience, and contribute to our school and broader community.
Our members come from diverse academic backgrounds, united by curiosity and a desire to build things that matter.
Academic Standing
Maintain a minimum 3.0 average in CS-related coursework and demonstrate genuine interest in developing your technical skills.
Service Hours
Earn volunteer hours through chapter activities—tutoring, STEM outreach, community tech support, and event participation. We provide the opportunities.
Active Participation
Attend regular meetings and contribute to at least one chapter project or competition per year.
Character
Integrity, collaboration, willingness to help others learn. Technical skill alone is not sufficient.
Three principles guide everything we do.
Learning through application
Theory matters, but understanding deepens through practice. We emphasize project-based learning where members apply concepts to real problems.
Peer instruction
Teaching is the highest form of learning. Members share knowledge through workshops, code reviews, and mentorship.
Interdisciplinary thinking
CS intersects with every field. We encourage members to bring perspectives from their other interests and explore those connections.
Beyond meetings, we maintain several ongoing initiatives.
Research
Academic papers and publications by our members. Real research, properly cited.
