National Honor Society

NHS Members

To be inducted into the National Honor Society is more than just achieving a certain GPA. One must also embody the characteristics of an effective leader. Beyond being a leader, students must demonstrate the good moral fiber of being dedicated to serving others at no personal gain for themselves. This factors into the most important of the pillars: character. To be a member of the National Honor Society, one must be good. Unfortunately, we live in a time where there is much social unrest, and it is easy to be angry and intolerant of others. National Honor Society members should be dedicated to fighting against intolerance and doing what is right, no matter how hard or unpopular it may be. They should serve as examples of kindness, humanity, and goodwill.

Thank you for visiting the online home of the Hamilton Township High School National Honor Society. Here you will find details on what it takes to become a member of this exclusive student organization.

Eligibility

To be academically eligible for consideration for membership in the Hamilton Township High School National Honor Society a student must be a sophomore or junior and must meet or exceed a cumulative GPA of 3.250 on a 4.000 scale. 

This is the first step in the selection procedures. In late February/early March, the eligible student will be asked to submit additional information (by a deadline at the end of March) for consideration by the chapter’s Faculty Council, which will carefully review his or her credentials.

In addition to the Scholarship standard, membership in NHS is also based on standards of Leadership, Service, and Character. To be selected as a member of NHS, the student must demonstrate on his or her Candidate Form and through the evaluations submitted by the faculty that he or she has met or exceeded these additional standards.

Selection

If a student is selected to be a member of National Honor Society he or she will be notified during the Tap Ceremony at school in April during advisory period. Following notification at the Tap Ceremony, there will be an evening ceremony in early May for these students and their parents.

If you have any questions regarding NHS or the selection process, you can contact Mrs. Heaton at hheaton@hlsd.org.

McCabe & Trevino

Although this research is twenty years old and eighteen pages long, read it first. McCabe has been a leader in investigating academic dishonesty and, in this paper, makes the case for academic honor codes.

This Princeton High School (NJ) Academic Honor Code could be a good starting point in drafting our code. Although the examples of violation seems a bit too brief here.
