National Honor Society

The National Honor Society is open to all qualified students in grades 10- 12 who meet the requirements for membership outlined by the guidelines provided to us by the NASSP. Our chapter’s membership is based on the four pillars of NHS:

  • Scholarship Per national guidelines, at a minimum, students must have a cumulative GPA of 85, B, 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent standard of excellence. (Each school chapter is allowed to require a higher cumulative GPA.)
  • Service This involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation.
  • Leadership Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, and idea contributors. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.
  • Character The student of good character is cooperative; demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability; shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others; and generally maintains a clean disciplinary record.
