World Language Honor Society Guidelines

The National Honor Society is an organization open to eleventh grade students who have demonstrated the qualities of scholarship, leadership, service and character.

Following the completion of the fifth semester, names of eleventh grade students who have earned a 3.95 cumulative GPA and have no disciplinary record are eligible to complete the Candidate Membership packet (application and essay).  Students who complete the packet, demonstrating participation in at least three service activities and service in at least one leadership position, are submitted to the faculty and Faculty Selection Council for review. 

Candidates who meet all requirements which include Candidate Membership packet, teacher recommendations, meet the deadlines for submission, and Faculty Selection Council approval, will be invited to join the National Honor Society in the spring of their junior year (March-April).  Invitations are sent to student trumbullps.net accounts. 

The National Honor Society induction ceremony will be held in May of their junior year.  Students are members during their senior year only (June to June). Students will begin to complete their required community service projects during the summer prior to their senior year.  Students are required to complete 40 hours of community service, 20 within the greater Trumbull Community and 20 within Trumbull High School/TPS.  Community service hours are due April 1st of their senior year.  (If April 1st falls on a weekend, the service hours are due the following Monday.) 

As members, students are expected to maintain a 3.95 cumulative weighted GPA, complete service projects, attend NHS meetings, pay membership dues, and uphold the tenets of the National Honor Society which include character, leadership, scholarship, and service.  Failure to do so may result in probation and/or dismissal from the organization. 

*Beginning with the Class of 2025, the minimum standard for scholarship shall be a 3.95 cumulative GPA.  This increase reflects the average of at least a B, or 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or equivalent standard of excellence.

The Tri-M Music Honor Society is a program of the National Association for Music Education (NAfME), which focuses on creating future leaders in music education and music advocacy. Tri-M is the only music honor society for junior/middle school and high school students in the country. Tri-M recognizes students that have gone above and beyond both academically and musically. Tri-M also provides students leadership opportunities to make a difference in their community through music-based service projects. There are more than 2,100 chapters across 50 states and 15 countries. Tri-M involves more than 84,000 students in grades 6-12. Each year, student members contribute more than 750,000 service hours to their school and local communities and raise nearly $1 million for causes they care about.

Eligibility

Candidates must be a member of at least one class centered around music performance (e.g. band, chorus, guitar, orchestra, etc.) or a music theory class. Candidates must have been in attendance at the school for the equivalent of one semester.

Membership Criteria

Candidates are selected from school music students that exhibit exceptional scholarship, leadership, service, and character. The following criteria may be raised at the discretion of the chapter advisor. 

• Music Participation—Candidates must have been enrolled in a school-sponsored music ensemble and/or class for at least one semester of the current school year. 

• Academic Achievement—Candidates must have maintained for the previous semester at least a A average grade or equivalent in music, with at least a B average grade or equivalent in other academic subjects.  

• Leadership—Leadership roles in both school and community may be considered as long as they can be verified. 

• Service—Service roles in both school and community may be considered as long as they can be verified. Service activities include any actions undertaken by the student that are done with or on behalf of others without any direct financial or material compensation to the individual performing the service. 

• Character—For Tri-M consideration, character may be considered, but judgment should be free of speculation and rumor. One description of character is a person who demonstrates respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship. 

Application

Candidates will complete and submit the application form to Mr. Wasko in Room M55 by Sept. 14, 2021. Members in good standing inducted during or before the 2020/2021 academic year do not need to apply a second time.

The Stock Market Club is designed to help students analyze and learn about stocks through virtual simulation. We will use a variety of platforms where stocks are traded and invested in real-time and students research and discuss decisions and the market conditions that affect the stock prices. Students work individually on their portfolio. Each session is run by a student (mainly the club president) who presents a lesson about investing in the stock market, reading and interpreting graphs and stock charts. Students also discuss certain types of securities and patterns as well as personal projections.
