Kitty Hawk Air Society
1. PURPOSE: These by-laws briefly outline the objectives of the Newark High School Chapter, of the
Ohio Kitty Hawk Air Society, for the information and action of all cadets. These by-laws supersede and
replace previously adopted bylaws to the Ohio State Constitution of Kitty Hawk Air Society.
2. GENERAL: The Kitty Hawk Air Society (KHAS) Chapter at OH-20091 AFJROTC will be known as
the Newark High School Chapter. This chapter is organized at Newark High School, Newark, Ohio.
3. OBJECTIVES: KHAS shall promote higher academic standards, be of service to the school and
community, promote self-confidence and initiative, develop leadership ability, encourage academic
excellence, and further educational development in the post high school years.
4. MEMBERSHIP: The members of the organization must be enrolled in the Newark City School
District as full-time high school students and must be registered for at least one Aerospace Science
Course during the school year.
4.1. All sophomore, junior and senior cadets enrolled in the AFJROTC program are considered for an
invitation to join this honor society. An invitation to join will be extended only to those cadets of good
character who have a minimum academic average of a “B” in AFJROTC and a cumulative 3.0 (“B”)
average without any failing grades during the preceding grading period. The decision to extend or not
extend an invitation will be based primarily upon three factors. First, the comments of a school official
who has access to student discipline records will be considered. Second, each cadet's record of behavior
and duty performance in AFJROTC and other school classes and activities will be considered. Third,
each potential member must achieve the currently established grade standards for Aerospace Science and
other courses.
4.2. Members must maintain KHAS standards. The performance of each member will be evaluated at the
end of each grading period. Factors considered in evaluating members will be the same as those used to
evaluate potential members. Any member who fails to maintain the grade standards and all other
standards of the KHAS will be placed on probationary status until they again satisfy established
standards.
