2025 NHS INDUCTION

2024 NHS INDUCTION

 Prospective Members - Information

Thank you for your interest in joining the Era chapter of NHS! 

We look at cumulative GPA (high school grades only) after completion of the first semester of your Sophomore year of high school and if you meet the grade requirement for NHS, you will receive an invitation letter, along with instructions for the additional requirements to become an NHS member.  All requirements should be turned in by the due date given in the letter.  A committee made of five anonymous staff members from Era ISD will review your student information form, teacher rubrics, letters of recommendation and essay.  If you are approved by the committee to become a member, you will be requested to attend the induction ceremony (typically held in early May).

*Note:  Juniors and Seniors who are NOT currently in NHS can be invited to join following the review of Fall semester grades of Junior and Senior year.  They will be required to complete the same application process as Sophomores.  **Juniors and Seniors who have previously been invited to join but did not complete application process will not be invited to apply again.  **Juniors who applied at end of Sophomore year and were not accepted are welcome to apply again with the addition of 50 hours of documented community service.

The four pillars of Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character provided on the overview page will get you started on what is required to become and remain a member of this distinguished organization.  The following are community and school activities that qualify as school sponsored and community activities.
