National Honor Society

The National Honor Society is a service organization that inducts students based on scholarship, leadership, service, character and citizenship. Students are first picked based on scholarship. They must have a cumulative average of 86 or higher to be considered for induction. They are then given application forms and a panel of high school teachers meets to vote on the potential candidates based upon the quality of the standards listed above. Selected students then go through an induction ceremony in January. In order to remain on the NHS, students need to maintain a cumulative average of 86 or higher. Any student falling below is put academic probation for a marking period. Members also need to model a high standard of character throughout the year. During the school year, we meet monthly to discuss our objectives. All members are required to attend. We plan different service projects within the community; tutoring of younger students; and how to lead by example throughout the school year.
