National Honor Society promotes recognition for students who reflect outstanding accomplishments in the areas of character, scholarship, leadership and service. Through NHS chapter service activities, members maintain and extend the qualities that win them selection. Membership is an honor and a commitment. It is a privilege, not a right.
Student Activity Information Forms must be submitted in a neat and well organized form. The selection process decisions are final. To ensure fairness, the Faculty Council is given national rules and regulations as well as the guidelines of the J Serra Catholic High School Chapter prior to evaluation. Not all students are awarded membership. Even if a student meets all of the requirements, membership is not guaranteed.
Carefully read over the membership requirements. Before committing to filling out your information form, please remember that you must meet ALL the qualifications below. Forms that are not properly completed or received after the posted deadline will not be considered for membership. In accordance with the bylaws of National Honor Society, late forms will NOT be accepted for consideration.
