Students become eligible for selection following
the posting of their 1st semester grades during their sophomore
year. Students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.8 or higher
are sent a letter and a survey of interest form.
The survey of interest form provides necessary information to
the selection committee, which is comprised of 5 faculty members appointed
by the principal. The National Honor Society sponsor, who has no voting
privileges, chairs the committee.
The selection committee meets many times over a period of 2–4
weeks to evaluate those students who submit a survey of interest form.
Prospective members are evaluated on the 4 criteria on which National
Honor Society is founded – Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service.
Students are notified of their selection status
by April 15 of each school year. An induction ceremony conferring membership
is then held in either late April or early May.
