Students must fulfill the below requirements in order to be considered in the selection process for National Honor Society. The Faculty Council, which is comprised of five faculty members, will use the Selection Rubric in the consideration process. The Faculty Council will review each student's demonstration of the attributes of Character, Leadership, Service, and Scholarship as outlined the Official National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society website.
The student must be a sophomore, junior, or senior
The student must have a cumulative 3.5 G.P.A., which will be calculated after the fall semester
The student must be involved in at least one extra-curricular activity (be a member in good standing) or maintain a part-time job
The student must exhibit good character and behavior in his or her community and school, including maintaining academic/co-curricular eligibility for the entire school year
The student must 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 (the majority of those 10 hours, should be First-Tier hours)
Community Service can take place from March 1st to the last Friday in February. Note that applications are due by the last Friday, so Community Service should likely be completed prior.
The student must collect signatures from supervisors in an on-going basis on the Community Service Log and Verification Form
Relatives (i.e. Parents/Guardians, etc) cannot serve as supervisors and cannot sign off on students' service hours
It is highly recommended that students record all hours, even above the 15 expected hours, if they want those hours considered by the Faculty Council.
Illegible hours, hours without a signature, or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
- The student must complete the Induction Candidate/Membership Renewal Form, which requires that the student upload both sides of the Community Service Log. Due the last Friday of February.
