LHS NHS Current Members

 

• Maintain a minimum weighted GPA of 3.75
• Attend NHS general assembly meetings
• Attend the NHS Induction Ceremony in the spring
• Complete and submit accurate and thorough documentation of personal, yearly NHS activities and involvement
• Pay annual $10 dues at the beginning of the school year
• SENIORS ONLY: Attend commemoration
  Service Activities
  
  Members are required to participate in at least two (2) NHS activities per quarter. Newly inducted members are required to participate in two (2) their first year. All members must complete one session of tutoring. The purpose of the activities system is to provide an objective means of assessing members’ continued active participation in the NHS and their maintenance of the election standards. Members should be primarily motivated to participate in NHS, school, community, and individual activities based on their desire to fulfill their NHS induction pledge rather than to merely accumulate service activities. Many activities in your community are also eligible.
  
  Honor Stoles
  
   
• Maintain a minimum weighted, cumulative GPA of 3.75 through the end of the 4th marking period of senior year
• Fulfill all LHS NHS member obligations
• Meet attendance and punctuality responsibilities as determined by the advisor(s)
• Voluntarily serve on at least 2 NHS activities (beyond the required obligations of two (2) per quarter) during each year of membership. To receive credit for participation, members must attend and actively participate in all organizational meetings for the committees, any subsequent meetings, and the activities themselves. Verification of attendance and participation will be determined by NHS members’ signatures on sign-out sheets available at the end of meetings and activities. Falsification of participation in/attendance to these committee meetings and/or NHS activities will be considered a violation of the LHS Honor Code and grounds for immediate dismissal from NHS.
• Embody the NHS tenets of leadership, service, and character
  
  Wearing NHS honor stoles at graduation activities is a privilege granted by local NHS chapters to deserving NHS senior members. Again, this is a privilege and not a guaranteed recognition by the national organization simply for being an NHS member.
