About RHO KAPPA
RHO KAPPA is a national honor society run through the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS). It was first established as a national organization in 2011. In 2016 we started a local chapter of RHO KAPPA at Chaparral High School. We became the first chapter in Riverside County and the 11th in the state of California. Membership in RHO KAPPA is an honor bestowed upon a student for their accomplishments in the field of social studies, overall academic achievement and civic engagement in the school or community.
