Application Process

Please be mindful of ALL dates and times associated with the application process. Missing a specified deadline negates your application. 

Requirements to apply (please note the following requirements only allow students to apply for membership and do not guarantee acceptance):

• be an 11th or 12th grade student

•  unweighted GPA of 90* or higher 

• good character standing (has not been referred for disciplinary actions)

In the 2025 Fall Semester, students who meet the above requirements will receive a letter in their student email inviting them to apply. 

Once you have your application, be extremely conscious of the directions and deadlines. Not abiding by these risks negating your application. Incomplete applications will not be considered. 

Student applications are reviewed by the CTJ Faculty Council (not the NHS advisors). The CTJ Faculty Council will determine membership based off their review of the applications. Incomplete applications will not be considered. They will score the applications using the district rubric based on the information below.

Applications items students are scored upon: 

• Teacher Evaluations

• Conduct

• Co/Extra curricular activities

• Leadership qualities

• Service Portfolio

• Work Experiences

Eligible applicants who met all deadlines and application requirements, will receive a notification of the faculty councils' acceptance or denial decision by email at the student's school email address (check your junk mail)in late October. All accepted applicants are required to complete the acceptance form and participate in our NHS Induction Ceremony in order to officially become a member of the organization.

If you do not receive an invitational letter:

Check with your counselor on your overall unweighted GPA (must check with your counselor in October after the invitations have been sent). 

*Note GPAs do not round up.
