-from the National Honor Society Handbook

NHS Faculty Council will then meet to review your completed application and select our inductees. Please note that this procedure is closed. As per the National Honor Society Handbook, “no student has a right to be selected for membership in a chapter of the National Honor Society.” If you are not selected for NHS, you will be given notice by the advisor. However, “chapters are not legally or constitutionally obligated to share with parents and students information concerning specific students not selected for membership in the society.”

Your application should be organized and turned in on time in order to be considered by the Faculty Council. Community service hours must be logged in with guidance prior to turning in your application. Do NOT wait until the last minute as this may cause your application to become void. All selected inductees will be notified as soon as possible.

During this pre-induction time, please continue to excel in all of the above areas.

Congratulations on your extraordinary scholastic achievement and best wishes.

Mr. Dalman and Mrs. Kelley, NHS Advisers
