National Senior Honor Society
2011-2012

The National Senior Honor Society signifies excellence in all phases of personal development. Each year outstanding members of the junior and senior classes who have a 88% academic average are inducted after a careful screening process, which includes faculty approval. Once inducted, they must uphold high standards of community service as well as academic performance. Freshman and Sophomores should plan on maintaining stellar academic performance and participation in extra curricular activities so that they will qualify when they apply for membership.

Scheduled Meetings
Mondays at 1:55 pm in room 125. See Schedule below.
Scheduled meetings may or may not be announced over the PA,
therefore it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep track of these meeting dates.
Attendance Policy
YOU MUST ATTEND A MINIMUM OF 75% OF ALL MEETINGS TO REMAIN IN THE HONOR SOCIETY. That means you may miss a total of ONLY THREE meetings (the induction ceremony on October 21th counts as TWO meetings). Failure to adhere to this attendance policy is grounds for dismissal.  Please turn in a note TO ME if you have an excused absence
