Students
do not apply for membership in the National Honor Society, rather membership
is considered an honor which is bestowed upon a student by an appointed
faculty committee on behalf of the school faculty.
All sophomores, juniors
and seniors who achieve a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5
are eligible for selection to the National Honor Society. Academically
eligible students receive a student activity information form from the
chapter advisor after the first semester cumulative grade point averages
have been computed. This form is returned to the advisor by the stated
deadline and is then used by an appointed faculty committee of five members
in determining a student's qualifications for membership based upon the
information provided in regard to character, leadership and service. Completion
and submission of the student activity information form is not an application
for membership, nor a guarantee of selection for membership.
If a candidate is
not selected for membership by a majority vote of the appointed faculty
committee, he or she becomes eligible for reconsideration the following
academic year provided that a minimum cumulative grade point average of
3.5 has been maintained.
