Please note: The class of 2010 will be the last senior class that can apply for the selection process for National Honor Society membership during their senior year. That means all students beyond the class of 2010 must apply for membership during their junior or sophomore year.
Criteria for Selection of Candidates: Sophomores and juniors may be considered for membership if they possess all of the following characteristics and have demonstrated them while at Mandeville High School.
The Qualities Are:
1. Scholarship: The candidate must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.5 for all completed high school credits. No rounding up is done.
2. Leadership: Students are evaluated for leadership. This does not necessarily imply that a candidate must hold an office in an organization, but there must be evidence of the student's ability to lead.
3. Service: The candidate must provide information that he or she has been and is currently active in school service and community service.
4. Character: A person of character demonstrates the following six qualities: respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, fairness, caring, and citizenship. The candidate's discipline record for the current school year shall be checked. Faculty members shall also provide input.
Interested students who believe they may qualify should pick up a Student Activity Information Form beginning on November 16, 2009.
This is not an application and does not guarantee membership. Any student returning the form after the deadline will not be included in the rest of the process for membership for the current school year.
The Qualifications to become an officer of NHS are:
1.) Must be a Junior in good standing including absences, service projects, dues paid and a cumulative 3.5 GPA.
2.) Must not hold or be running for a major officer position in any other school organization.
3.) All nominees must ask one teacher for a recommendation. This can be a letter or an e-mail to the sponsor.
