Students who have a cumulative GPA of 4.5 or higher at the conclusion of the sophomore year or junior year are invited to apply for membership in National Honor Society in early fall of the following year. These students receive a letter in September inviting them to come to an informational meeting at school to find out more about NHS. (Note: Invitation letters are sent to students at school.)
Students then must gather exemplary teacher recommendations and participate in the activities of National Honor Society throughout their junior year. Students who successfully complete these requirements are formally inducted into National Honor Society in the spring.
**Full membership in NHS, resulting in a stole to wear at graduation, requires:
For 2 year members - 1 mandatory event and 15 service hours annually
For 1 year senior members - 1 mandatory event and 15 service hours
Students transferring to Travelers Rest High School who have already been inducted into National Honor Society may transfer their membership to the Travelers Rest chapter of NHS by presenting a letter from the previous school certifying NHS membership.

If you have any questions about membership in NHS or have the prerequisite GPA and did not receive a letter, please contact an adviser.
