11th Grade

New UW Admissions Programs

There are some exciting new changes that will benefit students and their pathways to schools in the UW system. Together we can help ensure all involved have a clear understanding of the new programs, and how MMSD will be working to implement them.  The table below summarizes the essential information for both programs.  We’ve included a link to more detailed information below the table. 

National Honor Society

The National Honor Society was established by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921, with the purpose to recognize outstanding high school students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

Four main pillars have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to develop character in the students of secondary schools.  These pillars also translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local chapter. 

Juniors who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above at the end of their first semester will receive an invitation to apply to NHS.  Invitations will be sent to students after the first semester grades have been posted.
