The criteria for admission are: 

1. You must have an overall 85 average in your science courses with no D’s for a yearly average in any science course.

2. You must be a junior taking your 3rd science with a 4th science scheduled for next year or a senior taking a 4th science.  If you do not take a 4th science, you will be dropped from the Science Honor Society.

3. You must be an active member in good standing in a science club (i.e. Science Olympiad, Envirothon, Ocean Science Quiz Bowl, etc.) with 2 consecutive years in the same science club. Active membership requires regular attendance and participation, not a once-a-semester meeting or once-a-year beach clean-up.

4. You must have another science-related activity. The following is a partial list of suggested or appropriate activities.  There may be others that are not listed, but are equally appropriate (ask Mr. Taylor):

• Science-related community service (pre-approved) 

• Tutoring in science areas

• Taking a 5th science (AP Prep counts as a class)

• Participation in science competitions or fairs

• Officer in science related club 

5. You must have two current or former science teachers (one of whom is a science-related club sponsor) agree to write a short recommendation for you.
