National Honor Society |
|
| NHS is more than just an honor
roll. The chapter establishes rules for membership that are based upon
a student's outstanding performance in the areas of scholarship, leadership,
character, and service. These four areas are considered the pillars of
NHS. Click on each picture to learn more. |

Students
demonstrate their scholarship by achieving a cumulative grade point
average of 3.6 by the middle of their junior year. These students are
then eligible for consideration on the basis of service, leadership,
and character. Members whose cumulative GPA falls below a 3.6 will be
removed from NHS.
Student leaders are those who are resourceful,
good problem solvers, promoters of school activities, idea-contributors,
dependable, and persons who exemplify positive attitudes about life.
Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities
while working with or for others. Members
who do not display these qualities may be removed from NHS.
Students of good character uphold the principles
of morality and ethics, are cooperative, demonstrate high standards
of honesty and reliability, show courtesy, concern, and respect for
others, and generally maintain a good and clean lifestyle. Members who
do not uphold these standards may be removed from NHS.
This quality is defined through the voluntary contributions made by
a student to the school or community, done without compensation and
with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit. There are three
stages of service at NHS. The first stage of service must be completed
before an eligible student can become a member of NHS. The second and
third stages must be completed to remain a member of NHS. Members who
do not complete all three stages of service by the required dates will
be removed from NHS. |
