Reminder to Current Members:
Continuing to Retain Membership in National Honor Society (Once Inducted)
Once students are awarded membership, their membership comes with the obligation to continue to meet and/or exceed minimum requirements and challenge themselves to continue to grow in all four criteria. They were initially chosen based on their outstanding accomplishments in all four criteria and are expected to maintain that exemplary status in the areas of scholarship, leadership, character and service. Since the main focus of National Honor Society is to provide service to the school and community, students are expected to continue and to expand their service work within the community.
Century High School National Honor Society members are responsible for the following requirements in order to maintain good standing:
Maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5, verified at the end of the semester
Make good decisions in and out of school to demonstrate outstanding character and leadership.
Take on leadership roles in their activities, when possible
Continuing to Complete 5 hours from the Tier One LIST approved by the NHS Faculty Council with an additional 10 hours from First-Tier Community Service or Second-Tier Community Service (of which a majority of those 10 hours, should be First-Tier hours)
To maintain active membership, students are required to submit an online form, again noting their continued involvement in activities as well as continued service to the community. The service log must have at least 15 hours of documented and acceptable service as per the bylaw description. It should again be uploaded digitally and linked to their online submission. The submission for continued membership will be reviewed by the adviser and does not need approval from the Faculty Council. If a student should fail to meet the minimum requirements for membership under which they were initially selected, the student may be considered for dismissal from National Honor Society.
See the Discipline and Dismissal section of the Chapter Bylaws for details regarding this process.
