The Homestead chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) is beginning the process of selecting and vetting students for induction. Each year, eligible juniors and seniors are contacted with an invitation to join. Eligibility is based on a student’s scholarship, service, character, and leadership. Names of juniors and seniors with a cumulative grade point average of 3.9 or higher are selected for review by the faculty and administration here at Homestead. The faculty and administration review those names based on the other criteria of service, character, and leadership. After that list of names has been vetted, Dr. Ford, the faculty advisor for NHS, will contact eligible students via email in mid-October. Once the selection process in complete, invitations will be issued for students and guests to join the Induction Ceremony, planned for November 19, 2025. This will be a special night for parents and family to celebrate the new inductees and their success!

Academic Support and Tutoring

• Classroom Teacher Support: Communicate with your teacher(s)!  Ask for help!  Every teacher will be willing to work with you!  Students should make every effort to work with specific teachers before or after school.

• National Honor Society (NHS): Free Tutoring in all subjects from our Junior and Senior National Honor Society students is available. Email your counselor to start the process of being matched with an NHS tutor. 

• Peer/Student Math tutors: See your math teacher for a list of student tutors and contact information.  Don't forget about the Math Resource Room available during your Study Hall period.  

• Ask Rose:   Ask Rose is a free math and science tutoring service for Indiana and other students in grades 6-12. Tutors are Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology students who major in math, science or engineering—which means they’re more than equipped to help with just about any math or science homework problem. The program is certified by the National Tutoring Association. Click here for more information!
