National Honor Society is an organization dedicated to the recognition and promotion of scholarship, leadership, character, and service in high school students. Membership is one of the highest honors a student can receive, reflecting well on a job resume, college admissions form, or scholarship application. To achieve membership in the National Honor Society, a student must maintain a grade point average of 3.4, be involved in school and community improvement activities, have leadership experience, and demonstrate strong moral character. Students become eligible in the second semester of their Junior year provided that they have maintained the required grade point, can provide evidence of their community service and leadership roles, and have avoided serious infractions of the school or legal codes. Students may not apply to this organization; by ensuring they attain the required qualifications, however, they may be invited by the faculty committee to submit a personal profile for consideration. New members are honored at an annual banquet and initiation ceremony and senior members receive special recognition at graduation. National Honor Society’s major activities include sponsoring the initiation banquet, organizing at least one major service project, and managing a parking lot at Old Settler’s each year. |
