• National Honor Society

  The purpose of this organization is to promote and recognize outstanding scholarship, service, character and leadership.
  

  • Scholarship - Students must demonstrate outstanding scholarship by maintaining a cumulative, combined weighted average of 3.9.
  • Service and Leadership - A student must demonstrate leadership and commitment to service by being a leader in one school organization or by being an active participant in two organizations. One of the two may be a sports team. One activity may be outside of school but the student must demonstrate strong leadership qualities. No student who has been the subject of a disciplinary action during the first trimester will be considered for membership, and all members must complete the community service requirement each year.
  • Character - Successful candidates meet the highest standard of character and ethical conduct. This includes, accepting criticism, respect, courtesy, honesty, responsibility, and being helpful to others.

  Students may apply to become NHS members if they meet or exceed the basic requirements following the 1st trimester of the sophomore year. Re-evaluations by a faculty committee occur after the first trimester junior and senior years as well for those students who were not eligible initially.
