NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY (NHS) MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation’s premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character. Chapter membership not only recognizes students for their outstanding academic accomplishments, but also challenges them to further develop through active involvement in school activities and community service. In order to be invited for membership, students must have a minimum 3.85 academic GPA. Each candidate packet is reviewed by the NHS Faculty Council and selection is based on a point system/rubric.

Rubric includes:

Academics: 3.85 Academic GPA or higher
Service: 25 community service hours for sophomores and 40 hours for juniors
Leadership: applicant can either have a title or a leadership experience that is explained
Character: based on teacher review – to include attendance, classroom behavior, school discipline and other relevant school data.

Acceptance into the society is announced once the Council has completed reviewing applications and made its decisions. Candidates will then be inducted into the Society in a formal ceremony.

Continued membership requires the NHS student to maintain a 3.85 academic GPA, enrollment in rigorous course work, provide 5 hours of tutoring per semester, remain active in a school sponsored community project, pay semester dues and attend all NHS meetings. Should any of these areas be neglected, membership will be subject for review by the NHS Faculty Council and a student may be placed on probation or dismissed from NHS.
