A student may be considered for membership in the Cum Laude Society after his first semester's work during his Junior year. Nominees are elected by the current membership of the Society and must have a minimum average of 88 for their work at MBA and must have taken at least two honors-level or AP courses. These semester averages must be earned at MBA and cannot be transferred from a previous school's records. After six semesters have been completed in the high school, students are dropped from the Junior Honor Society. A student must maintain an 85 average to remain in the Society.
