In orderto maintain membership, a student must demonstrate exemplary character, perform service to the community, and maintain academic standards. The National Honor Society provides a tutoring service, community service projects and scholarship donations. In order to be considered for membership, a student must have maintained a B average or an 11 GPA since the freshman year and must receive high recommendations from the staff and faculty of the high school. If these requirements are met, the student must then submit two letters of recommendation from individuals who have supervised his or her activities outside the normal classroom setting, attesting that the student has demonstrated qualities of service and leadership. The final decision for admission to the National Honor Society is made by the faculty council.
Members work in both the creative and business ends.
