Important Additional Information for Inductees:

• Students who are inducted into the National Honor Society as a Junior will have their place held through the fall semester of their senior year if they adhere to social eligibility requirements. If by the end of first semester in Senior year,  the student does not adhere to both the academic and social eligibility requirements, they will not be eligible to be inducted as a senior.

• Students are not grandfathered in. Just because a student was inducted as a junior, does not guarantee they will automatically be inducted in their senior year. 

• If a student is inducted in their junior year and remains in the NHS as a senior, each year is a new year. The tutoring hours do not roll over into their senior year. 

• Dues should be submitted to Mr. Curran by April 14, 2027 by 1:30 pm; do not wait until after school as he may not be in his room.

All paperwork must be physically handed in to Mr. Curran by April 28, 2027 by 1:30 pm; do not wait until after school as he may not be in his room.
