"The mission of the National Adult Education Honor Society (NAEHS) is to provide meaningful recognition to deserving adult education students to improve self-esteem, enable adult educators to meet recruitment quality indicators and make administrators and the public aware of the impact adult education has on the community.”

The NAEHS was established in 1991 in South Carolina under the leadership of Lloyd Weaver. The Austin Community College/ Travis County Adult Education Chapter was established April 25, 2000.

ACC's Adult Education Honor Society Inductee Ceremony, 2008 was held April 24, 2008.

Benefits of membership

Student NAEHS members never pay dues. Their only obligation is to encourage family members and others to take advantage of the local AE program. Some NAEHS members take this very seriously and become excellent AE ambassadors.
Honor Society members receive a letter of recommendation for employment from NAEHS headquarters, an NAEHS membership certificate, and pin during the school’s induction ceremony.
NAEHS members have an advantage on job applications and promotions due to NAEHS recommendation.
Some AE directors arrange for NAEHS members to speak to at-risk high-school students about staying in school, share best AE practices with practitioners, serve on AE advisory councils, etc.
The inductee with the highest exam score will receive a scholarship from the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society local ACC Alpha Gamma Pi chapter.
