Computer Science Honor Society

The purpose of the Computer Science Honor Society is to "cultivate thriving environments for success in computer science in the schools’ communities by encouraging students’ enthusiasm, honoring academic excellence, and promoting service." The CS Honor Society also encourages students to participate in community service and, in turn, encourages a dedication to the pursuit and enjoyment of Computer Science.

- The student is currently enrolled in a Computer Science class at WCHS or has finished AP Java or Programming 3 in a prior year, at WCHS.

- The student will complete and document 10 hours of community service this year. At least 1 of those hours must be helping with the CS Honor Society tutoring program at lunch. At least 5 of these hours MUST be related to computer science.

- The student has and will maintain a 3.5 average in all Computer Science classes.

- The student must abide by the CS Honor Code to maintain membership.

CSHS Honor Code: "A computer program written to satisfy a course requirement is, like a paper, expected to be the original work of the student submitting it. Copying a program from another student or from any other source is a form of academic dishonesty, as is deriving a program substantially from the work of another. Students must assume that collaboration in the completion of assignments is prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the instructor. Students must acknowledge any collaboration and its extent in all submitted work."
