How do students get into NHS?
Minimum GPA is 3.5, by the end of your sophomore or junior year.
Students fill out the application and get it back to the advisor by the deadline.
All 4 characteristics (Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Character) are weighed equally, so make sure all parts are complete.
The whole high school staff is given copies of your application and is involved in choosing NHS members, so those chosen are chosen by everyone to some extent.
There is a group of 5 staff members—which changes every year and remains anonymous—that votes, using the input from all staff members, to select or not select each student.
The advisor does not get a vote but does get to give input as much as all the other staff members.
