The 4 Pillars of NHS

Academics - 3.50 gpa
Character - VP discretion
Community Service - NHS applicants are committed to serving (minimally the district mandatory 20 service hours) - the more service hours, the stronger the candidate
Leadership - proof of leadership experience (does not have to be an official title) - the more and varied leadership experience will make a stronger candidate
The above is judged by a faculty committee
Students can request an appeal to the principal if application is denied

All 4 pillars must be approved by the committee for entrance. This is not a society based solely on GPA.

What if my son or daughter does not meet the minimum requirements of a 3.50 GPA?
