Receiving TWO warnings in one school year is grounds for dismissal. Our five-member Faculty Council will review your case and take action accordingly— you may be dismissed from NHS permanently.
Please see below for dismissal process per our Bylaws:
Section 5. In all cases of pending dismissal:
a. The member will receive written notification from the adviser/faculty council indicating the reason for consideration of dismissal.
b. The member has the right to respond to the charge(s) against him/her at a hearing before the faculty council prior to any vote on dismissal (in accordance with due process identified in Article X of the National Constitution). The member has the opportunity to present his/her defense either in person or via a written statement presented in lieu of the face-to-face hearing. Following the hearing, the faculty council will then vote on whether to dismiss. A majority vote of the faculty council is needed to dismiss any member.
c. The results of the faculty council vote will be presented to the principal for review, and then stated in a letter sent to the student and parents. Dismissed members must surrender any membership emblems to the adviser.
d. The faculty council’s decision may be appealed to the building principal and afterwards according to provisions of the school district discipline policies.
e. A member who is dismissed or resigns may never again be considered for membership in the National Honor Society.
