National Honor Society Application
Election to membership in the National Honor Society represents the highest honor and trust that can be bestowed upon a student in the junior or senior year of high school.  The National Honor Society recognizes students for outstanding SCHOLARSHIP, LEADERSHIP, and SERVICE.  Membership in the society is indicative that the student has attained and is demonstrating and promoting all of these qualities, and is exerting an effort to improve conditions in the school and community.  Meeting the grade point average requirement (3.5 weighted) is not the sole criteria for acceptance into the National Honor Society.  Schools that select members solely on the basis of scholarship are placing their charters in jeopardy for it violates the Constitution of the NHS.  Evidence that you meet the qualifications of the LEADERSHIP (demonstrated leadership or aspirations for leadership...in official or unofficial capacity), CHARACTER (no honor violations or restored from violation restrictions), and SERVICE (meeting the grade-level benchmarks for service hours) requirements are necessary to be eligible for membership.

Please read the following information regarding NHS membership and requirements before starting the application.
