Requirements for Maintaining NHS Membership:

​

1. All members are expected to consistently maintain the characteristics of exemplary character, leadership, and service. Even though members have not been inducted, they are to be treated as such. They are also expected to hold to the higher expectations of a member in all aspects- academically and socially. 

 

2. Grades will be checked each grading period. Students whose unweighted GPAs fall below 3.6 will enter a probationary period and will have the following grading period to correct the deficiency before dismissal from NHS.

 

3. Members are expected to attend all monthly meetings (meeting dates posted on NHS website and Canvas). All absences must be approved in advance with the adviser. Excused absences include school activities that may prohibit a student from being at the meeting. Examples include Science/Math competitions, away sporting events, and/or school trips. You will be placed on probation and/or potentially dismissed from NHS due to non-attendance if you miss more than 3 meetings.

 

4. All materials must be submitted to the advisor on time. Responsibility is one of the characteristics for which members are selected and will be grounds for dismissal. Late materials will not be accepted and will forfeit one’s membership.

 

5. NHS is a service organization. Members are required to participate in chapter and individual service events totaling at least 20 volunteer hours, 10 per semester. All 10 hours per semester MUST be NHS sponsored events. This is a change from previous years, so please be aware. Hours may not be shared with another club or group. 

 

6. If a student is suspended (in school or out of school) from school, he/she will automatically be dismissed from the NHS. Notice of appeal may be filed with the NHS advisor. Furthermore, any member who willfully and persistently violates the school rules, or may be involved in immoral or disreputable conduct (regardless of when or where the situation occurs) shall be subject to dismissal from NHS. Any student dismissed from the NHS will be required to surrender the membership card, certificate and pin. Record of membership will be removed from permanent school records, refunds will not be given.
