Club Description:
The mission of National Honor Society is to honor students for their commitment to scholarship, leadership, service, and character. As members, students are expected to tutor at least twice a quarter in the Homework Hangout and participate in at least one service or fundraising activity per quarter.
Eligibility Requirements to Apply:
Students who have a 3.5 cumulative, weighted GPA at the end of first semester their junior year will receive an application to apply for membership. There is also a senior application cycle at the end of September for qualified students with a 3.5 weighted GPA. Once submitted, that application is reviewed by the faculty council and evaluated in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. If there have been any documented incidents of plagiarism/cheating, Code of Conduct violations, or threats against students or teachers, the applicant will automatically be disqualified. Students who are qualified in all four areas will then be invited to be inducted into the Society.
