What does it take to be considered for NHS membership?

Membership in National Honor Society is based upon 4 criteria: scholarship, leadership, service and character. Juniors with a cumulative weighted GPA of 4.75 or higher are eligible for application. Applications are sent out to qualifying students via LP email after 1st semester of junior year.

Potential candidates should demonstrate a commitment to community service, consistent participation in school activities/athletics/clubs, and demonstrate leadership in the school community. Upon review of a faculty character survey, the candidate’s application, the Dean’s Office report, verification of community service and activities, the Faculty Selection Committee will determine membership.

New members and parents are invited to attend a special Induction Ceremony at the end of April. Once a member of NHS, all members are expected to actively engage in service. Members are required to document and submit evidence of service projects, as well as attend monthly membership meetings. NHS members are required to complete a minimum of 25 service hours at various activities within the school and surrounding community. See link to Member Expectations for more information.
