Chapter Advisors, here’s a chance to highlight the creativity, leadership, and achievements of your students on an international stage. NEHS is offering two exciting ways for chapters to share their voice with peers and educators in 2026: writing a blog for the NEHS Museletter or participating in a Social Media Takeover.
Both opportunities allow students to reflect on literature, service, and scholarship while celebrating their chapter’s unique identity and accomplishments. By contributing a blog post or taking over NEHS social media accounts, your students can inspire others, gain recognition, and provide students with meaningful leadership and communication experiences. Best of all, both programs are designed to be manageable and supportive: students do not need to post live content, and blog contributions can be planned in advance.
Encourage your chapter to step into the spotlight and share their stories with the NEHS community in 2026!
Celebrate Student Voices: Write for the NEHS Museletter
Would your students like to see their writing published and celebrated by the National English Honor Society? The NEHS Museletter is inviting students to contribute blog posts throughout 2026, and your chapter could be next! Writing for the Museletter allows students to reflect on what literature, service, and scholarship mean in their community while engaging a national audience of peers and educators. Past student pieces have explored topics like creative leadership, the joy of reading, and the ways NEHS shapes identity and purpose. Students who contribute not only highlight their activities and interests but also help inspire others across the NEHS network.
Every week, the Museletter features a range of timely themes your chapter can write about, from National Book Month and Black History Month to Women’s History Month, Poetry Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, and more. General literary topics are also welcome year-round. Contributing is simple: select a date and theme that fits your chapter’s interests, plan with up to five of your members, and ask those students to share their blog.
Why This Matters
- Visibility & Recognition: Your chapter’s work is showcased to an international audience of NEHS students and educators.
- Student Confidence & Growth: Contributing helps students strengthen their writing and critical thinking skills.
- Community & Inspiration: Published pieces highlight your chapter’s unique activities while inspiring other chapters across the NEHS network.
- Leadership & Collaboration: Planning and producing a blog encourages teamwork, creativity, and leadership among your members.
- Connection to Broader Themes: Writing for Museletter allows students to explore literature, service, and scholarship in meaningful ways within their own communities.

Take the Spotlight: Showcase Your Chapter with a Social Media Takeover
If your NEHS chapter has an event that deserves more attention—a creative fundraiser, a public reading, a school-wide activity, a holiday celebration—you have a fantastic opportunity waiting for you: the NEHS Social Media Takeover.
A takeover means your chapter temporarily “takes over” one (or more) of NEHS’ official social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) to tell your story, highlight your chapter’s activity, and connect with the wider NEHS community.
By stepping into the spotlight, your chapter becomes the voice of NEHS for a day—bringing fresh content, enthusiasm, and your chapter’s personality to a broader audience.
Why This Opportunity Matters
- Visibility & Pride: Your chapter gets to show off what you do; people across the NEHS network will see your activities, your members, your successes.
- Engagement & Reach: A takeover has the potential to boost follower engagement, generate conversation, and inspire other chapters to step up.
- Leadership & Experience: Students engaged in planning and executing the takeover gain practical experience in digital communications, storytelling, event-promotion, and media coordination.
- Focus on Chapter Life: You’re not just posting for the sake of posting, you’re communicating your chapter’s mission, your values, your event.
The Myth of Live-Streaming: No, You Don’t Have to “Go Live”
One of the most important facts to highlight is that you do not need to produce content live on the platform during the event. The takeover doesn’t require that your chapter members be glued to their phones livestreaming everything. Rather:
- You’ll coordinate in advance with Katie Mudd, Director of Marketing and Communication, to plan and promote your takeover.
- You will be given a temporary password for access on the selected platform on the day of your takeover.
- You can prepare posts ahead of time (photos and short videos) so that when the day comes, you’re ready.
- Rather than trying to broadcast in real time, you can capture moments (before, during, after), then post them sequentially or in story format. This reduces pressure, allows better quality, and keeps things manageable.
- After the event, you wrap up with a call to action (for example, inviting other chapters to request their own takeover).
Essentially, your chapter can shine without feeling like you’re live broadcasting under stress. The key is advance planning, content collection, and coordination. Sign-up for a 2026 Social Media Takeover today:
