Application Process

The application process for the 2025-2026 school year will begin in October.

Who is eligible to apply to NHS? 

NHS candidates must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5. Applicants must also demonstrate evidence of the four NHS pillars: scholarship, service, leadership, and character.    The application is open to juniors and seniors who are in good academic and behavioral standing. 

All completed applications are due on Monday December 1st. 

Completed applications can be emailed to bhsnhs@bpsma.org or placed in an advisor's mailbox in the Azure office. When your application to NHS is submitted, it will be reviewed by members of the Brocktonia chapter faculty council. All applications are assessed on a rubric based on the four pillars of NHS: character, scholarship, service, and leadership. Decision letters will be sent out to all applicants no later than Wednesday December 17th.

If you are not accepted to the National Honor Society upon your initial application, you may apply again the following school year. You also have the right to appeal your application decision with the faculty council. All appeals must be requested within one week of receiving your decision letter. Your appeal meeting will be scheduled with the NHS advisors and members of the faculty council, where you will be asked to speak further about the aspects of your application that did not meet the initial application requirements.
