The Honor Society chapter establishes rules for membership that are
based upon a student’s outstanding performance in the areas of
scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These criteria for
selection form the foundation upon which the organization and its
activities are built.

Scholarship: Students who have a cumulative grade point
average of 85% B, 3.0 (a 4.0 scale) or equivalent standard of
excellence, or a higher cumulative average set by the local
school’s Faculty Council, meet the scholarship requirement for
membership. These students are then eligible for consideration
on the basis of service, leadership, and character.

Service: This quality is defined through the voluntary
contributions made by a student to the school or community,
done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and
enthusiastic spirit.

Leadership: Student leaders are those who are resourceful,
good problem solvers, promoters of school activities,
idea-contributors, dependable, and persons who exemplify
positive attitudes about life. Leadership experiences can be
drawn from school or community activities while working with
or for others.

Character: The student of good character upholds principles of
morality and ethics, is cooperative, demonstrates high standards
of honesty and reliability, shows courtesy, concern, and respect
for others, and generally maintains a good and clean lifestyle.
