National Honor Society

Students may not apply for membership in the National Honor Society. Membership is granted only to those students selected by the Faculty Council in each high school. The membership criteria reviewed by the Faculty Council include the following requirements:

a. Membership is open to juniors and seniors.
b. Students must be enrolled at CHS for a minimum of one semester.
c. Membership shall not be based solely on grades.
d. Students must meet standards relating to scholarship, service, leadership, and character.

Students invited for membership must complete service questionnaires on which they will list all activities in which they have participated and any offices they have held during high school. These activities may be in or out of school, but the student must be an active participating member of the organization listed. A student's job does not constitute service. Service is based on the total amount of hours spent in activities in and out of school.

Coaches and advisors shall be contacted to verify the information provided. Falsifying information shall be considered a reason for disqualification from membership.

Leadership and character will be evaluated by faculty, coaches and advisors. Students will receive the necessary forms for this evaluation. It is the sole responsibility of the student to give the evaluation form to those selected by the student and to provide a list to the faculty advisor by the established deadline. Character and leadership will be evaluated using the following criteria:

Character

• meets pledges and responsibilities to the school or organization promptly
• demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability
• cooperates with school and civil rules and regulations
• demonstrates concern for others

Leadership

• demonstrates leadership in classroom and organizations
• demonstrates leadership in promoting school activities
• successfully holds school offices or other positions of responsibility
• exemplifies provides qualities and attitudes

Students selected for membership by the Faculty Council must continue to meet the standards of membership. Dismissal and other disciplinary action shall be decide by the Faculty Council. A student who is dismissed or resigns may not be reinstated. Additional responsibilities to sustain membership shall be the responsibility of the faculty advisor with the help of the Faculty Council. Attendance is expected at all N.H.S. meetings and activities unless one has a valid excuse and informs the N.H.S. advisor. Should a member's grade point average fall below 3.50, that person has a single marking term to raise it to the acceptable level. Failure to do so could result in dismissal from the National Honor Society. Advisor: Ms. Kathleen Mirabile.
