NHS Selection Process
Students inducted into the National Honor Society are selected by a five-member faculty council. Students meeting the following criteria are invited to apply for membership by completing an application, available in April.
- Must be a junior or senior.
- Must have a minimum 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
- Must demonstrate experience in community service and leadership in the school or community.
- Must be a student with exemplary character.
Once these requirements are met, the council then evaluates candidates on leadership, community service, and character.
A majority vote of the Council is necessary for selection. The Faculty Council solicits input from the entire faculty to evaluate a candidate’s leadership and character.
To Apply
Late in the spring semester, sophomores and juniors who meet the cumulative 3.5 GPA requirement are contacted and invited to complete a candidate form which outlines the candidate’s accomplishments in the areas of service and leadership. Students are selected during the summer and inducted in September.
