Hi sophomores! Keep up your GPA this year so that you can be invited to apply for membership in the National Honor Society next year! Here's how it works:
- Juniors with a minimum GPA of 3.75 are invited to apply for the National Honor Society in August of their Junior Year. Those who are not invited may not apply.
- Students must complete an application demonstrating their abilities in all four of the core NHS values: scholarship, leadership, service, and character.
- Students must maintain verified signatures and fully complete and submit their applications on time.
- The information provided will be used by the Faculty Council in the selection process. Completion of the application does not guarantee selection.
- In September, applications are due to the NHS sponsor who checks and verifies the information on each application.
- In October, students are informed via letter delivered at school of their acceptance or rejection into the National Honor Society.
- In late October or early November, the induction ceremony takes place and students are officially welcomed into the National Honor Society.
Continued Membership in the National Honor Society requires the following:
- Maintain a required 3.5 or higher GPA
- Earn 40 hours of approved community service in NHS sponsored community service
- Attend monthly meetings
- Demonstrate the same level of conduct required for admission
- Pay the $10 yearly dues
NHS is a great way to serve your community and get involved in leadership. If you meet requirements for continued membership, you get to walk with cords at graduation, and NHS will be designated in the graduation program!
