    • A cumulative grade point average (gpa) of 3.75 on the weighted scale.
  • SELECTION PROCESS:
    • NHS Activity Sheet is given to each student who meets the cumulative gpa.
    • Students who return the Activity Sheet by deadline are evaluated by the faculty on Leadership, Character, Service, and Faith.
    • Using these evaluations and Activity sheets, the Faculty Advisory Committee (teachers, whose names are not released, serve two year terms) determines whether or not a student has met all the requirements for membership.
      • Students accepted for membership receive an invitation to the Induction Ceremony.
      • Students who are not accepted for membership are informed of the decision in a written letter handed to the student during a conference with the NHS advisors. Parents are informed of the decision by mail.
  • THE NEXT STEP?
    • If accepted into membership, the candidate must pay dues ($10) and attend the Induction Ceremony in order to complete the membership process.
    • If denied membership, a candidate will have two weeks from the date of the letter to file an appeal.
  • NOTE: Continued membership requires maintaining the minimum grade point average and all of the other requirements for membership.
