Membership in this chapter is an honor bestowed upon deserving students by the faculty and shall be based on the criteria of scholarship, service, leadership and character. Five faculty advisors review applications and determine whether candidates will be invited to join NHS.
Candidates eligible for election to this chapter must be members of the sophomore or junior class and must have been in attendance for a period of at least one semester at Notre Dame Preparatory High School.
Candidates eligible for selection to the chapter shall have a minimum cumulative weighted GPA of 3.85 (out of 4.0). This scholastic level of achievement shall remain fixed and shall be the required minimum level of scholastic achievement for consideration for admission into NHS.
Candidates eligible for selection to the chapter shall have submitted a completed application by the posted deadline. Late applications, for any reason, will not be accepted.
Students must be involved in any combination of school-based activities for at least four consecutive academic quarters prior to application. Strong applicants have demonstrated leadership and qualitative involvement on the school campus. Simple membership in clubs or activities does not guarantee acceptance.
Complete disciplinary records will be reviewed as part of the application process. Excessive infractions will negatively affect one’s application and may result in non-acceptance.
Candidates with any disciplinary referrals for major infractions, such as drugs/alcohol/tobacco, cheating, stealing or harassment, may be denied acceptance. Current members that commit these disciplinary infractions may be asked to sit before the NHS Faculty Council and may be dismissed or given other consequences.
Upon meeting the acceptance criteria outlined above, candidates shall then be considered based upon their service, leadership and character.
The selection of members to this chapter shall be by majority vote of the Faculty Council, consisting of five faculty members. The chapter advisor(s) shall be the non-voting, ex-officio member(s) of the Faculty Council.
Membership in NHS is considered a privilege and thus can be revoked if the student fails to meet the standards by which he/she was initially accepted. Failure to maintain these standards may result in dismissal from NHS. The Faculty Council may impose disciplinary sanctions upon a member as deemed appropriate.
