National Honor Society

Membership in the National Honor Society has become recognized nationally as one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a high school student. Membership is, however, more than an honor; it carries with it a responsibility and should be considered the beginning of an obligation, not merely the successful culmination of an effort to achieve recognition and honor. 

Membership in the National Honor Society is based on excellence in four areas: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character.  Students may be selected for membership following their sophomore year based on the following criteria:

  • Academic - 3.67 GPA

  • Service - Seniors 50 hours of service/ Juniors 40 hours of service hours 

  • Character - Students’ behavior and attendance records will be reviewed to determine character eligibility. No good conduct violations within one calendar year before the application date, and a 90% or better attendance rate.

  • Leadership - A written paragraph (no less than 4 sentences) must be submitted describing positions you have demonstrated or exhibited leadership. This can include positions to which you were elected, or appointed, or in which you have assumed a leadership role in school, community, or work-related activities. Only those activities in which you were responsible for directing or motivating others should be included.
