Membership is open to those students who meet the required standards in four areas of evaluation: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Standards for selection are established by the national oce of NHS and have been revised to meet our local chapter needs. Students are selected to be members by a 5-member Faculty Council, appointed by the principal, which bestows this honor upon qualied students on behalf of the faculty of our school each year. To be eligible for membership, a student must be in the 11th or 12th grade, must have been in attendance at Howard High School for at least one full semester, must have a 90.00 or above cumulative grade average as calculated to be named an Honor Graduate as set forth by the Bibb County School District, must have enrolled in Honors-level or above courses when that option is available, and must have taken at least one Advanced Placement, Gifted/Advanced Content, or academic Dual Enrollment course over his or her high school career. Those students who meet these criteria are invited to complete a Student Activity Information Form that provides the Faculty Council with information regarding the candidate’s leadership and service. A history of leadership experiences and participation in school or community service is also required. These forms are carefully reviewed by the Faculty Council to determine membership. A majority vote of the Council is necessary for selection. Candidates are then notied regarding their selection or non- selection. Following notication, a formal induction ceremony is held by the school to recognize all the newly selected members. Once inducted, new members are required to maintain the same level of performance (or better) in all four criteria that led to their selection. This obligation includes attending chapter meetings, participating in the chapter service projects, maintaining the 90 or above cumulative average, enrolling in Honors-level or above courses when that option is available and enrolling in at least one Advanced Placement or academic Dual Enrollment course each year. Those students meeting the eligibility requirements will receive notices via school email and or packet in the mail starting in March. The Student Activity Information Form will be due back to Mr. Partain in room 136 by Friday, March 19, 2021. Students or parents who have questions regarding the selection process or membership obligations can contact the chapter adviser, Mr. Matthew Partain, in room 136, by email at [email protected], or by phone at (478) 779-4850.
