Our selection policy, revised May 2024, is as follows:

1. Students in grades 11 and 12 are eligible for National Honor Society.

2. Candidates are initially eligible by meeting the academic requirement. Students must have attained a 3.75 cumulative average or better, beginning in 9th grade.

3. Students are required to complete the application form to assist the Faculty Council in judging their qualifications in the areas of leadership, service, and character.

4. Selection is based on a point system, with sections representing each of the four pillars of NHS (Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character). See below for candidate criteria.

5. The Faculty Council will meet to evaluate candidates based on the criteria listed above. Students who meet the criteria will be notified of their selection by our National Honor Society Chapter.

6. After their induction, candidates must maintain at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA and continue to meet the criteria of leadership, service, and character. Students must also participate in at least two NHS sponsored activities each year in which they are a member of our chapter.

7. Successful completion of these criteria will be reviewed each semester. Students liable for dismissal due to academics will be given a written warning and allowed one semester to raise their level of achievement. If a student commits a flagrant violation of the school disciplinary policy, he/she will be subject to discipline and/or dismissal per the procedures in the National Honor Society Handbook.

8. Any student wishing to appeal the selection decision must make a formal request to the NHS advisor within 10 days of receiving the decision letter.
