The Bayshore Honor Society is an organization that recognizes outstanding academic achievement, character, and hours of volunteer work in both the school and the community.
Academic eligibility is determined by the end of the 2nd marking period of Grade 7 or Grade 8.
To become academically eligible, a student must make the honor roll 5 out of 6 marking periods in the current grade and the grade prior.
Students deemed eligible will receive an email from the Bayshore Honor Society email account. Students who do not receive an eligibility notification should not apply.
*Once a student is inducted into the Bayshore Honor Society, they do not need to re-apply in 8th grade. They are members for the remainder of their time at Bayshore.*
