Selection Criteria
The decision of the Faculty Council is final.

Dismissal Procedures

If a student was a member of NJHS, is that individual automatically eligible for NHS?
No. NJHS and NHS are separate Honor Societies, both at the local and national level. Members of NJHS must be selected for membership in NHS in the same manner as all other candidates at the school. Similarly, disciplinary actions taken against an NJHS member should not affect that student's candidicay for NHS membership. (from the NHS handbook)

Remember that the GHS NHS information form asks for information from high school only; do not include information prior to ninth grade.

Keep the following ideas in mind when thinking about NHS:
NHS IS an honored role, not just being on the honor roll.
NHS IS meeting all four criteria, not just having a high GPA.
NHS IS individuals meeting criteria, not meeting a quota.
NHS IS committee selection, not an individual making the selection.
NHS IS A CONTINUING COMMITMENT...
NHS IS NOT A SINGLE EVENT.

To prepare for NHS (as well as for college) keep a list of...
1. school and community activities that you are involved in.
2. leadership roles you fulfill.
3. service projects and community service that you volunteer for.
4. your employment.
5. awards, honors, and recognitions.

Be as detailed as possible. Include information from the beginning of your freshman year. This will make it much easier to recall this information when you are eligible to fill out a NHS Student Activity Information Form.

Work hard on your school work. Keep a 3.33 GPA.

Students who become members of NHS are typically involved in at least a few activities, have acquired leadership roles in these activities, regularly volunteer their time to help others, and have a variety of other organizational memberships, jobs, and related activities as a part of their lives. They are attentive to the details of their schoolwork and their other activities, and they are models of character for other students at GHS.
