Founded by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) in 1921, the National Honor Society promotes standards of scholarship, service, character, and leadership. Membership is by invitation only and is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a high school student.
Each spring, a five-member faculty council appointed by the principal issues invitations to rising seniors who meet the criteria for membership.
Eligibility requirements consist of:
· A 3.5 cumulative grade point average (GPA) or higher.
· Exemplary behavior that demonstrates respect for faculty and students. A student may have no more than two (2) Level 1 infractions since the 9th grade. (A student with a Level 2 infraction is not eligible.)
· At least 10 hours of documented community service since the 9th grade.
· Evidence of character and leadership as determined by faculty observations.
Through exclusive resources, programs, and services, members have a unique opportunity to prepare for college and career pursuits. Membership truly lays the groundwork for lifelong success.
