Membership
National Honor Society is a national organization that promotes involvement within the community and recognizes students that demonstrate excellence in character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Locally we host Café Night, support various service needs in the community, and also plan to take field trips and organize a college visit this year.
In order for you to join, you must meet the following requirements.
Maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA (this includes the weighted grades from weighted classes)
Pay the $20 membership dues (due right before Induction; the bookkeeper will add them to your fees once you've met the other requirements and the officers have audited the records.)
Have all fines and fees paid with the bookkeeper
Members MUST complete 20 community service hours and submit them via a form available in Mr. Giddings' room (501). Sophomores need complete at least 10 hours. The deadline will be announced, but it is typically right after we get back from winter break.
Attend the induction ceremony (typically about 4 or 5 weeks after the end of 1st semester.
Maintain high standards of the 4 pillars of NHS: scholarship, service, character, and leadership.
We have announcements and reminders on our Instagram account @fifenhs, StudentSquare, and Google Classroom. We hope to see you at one of our upcoming meetings!!!
Note: Membership in NHS needs to be renewed every year. Practically, circumstances and interest of members sometimes change such that they do not desire to remain in the club or no longer qualify to remain in the club. Additionally, meeting Induction requirements on a yearly basis is required by the National Charter.

You are not automatically in NHS if you have good grades.
You join NHS if you wish to and qualify via fulfilling the requirements listed above. Officers are chosen for the following year from the current sophomore and junior classes via interviews conducted by the current (including outgoing) officers and the adviser.
