  40. QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THENATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY • In January of their sophomore year, students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 will be invited to apply for membership in the National Honor Society. Applications will ask for information regarding leadership and community service activities. Students must have at least 3 examples of each type of activity. The application will also include a short essay on why the student would like to be a member of NHS. A faculty advisory council, made up of five Campus teachers, will determine the students to be inducted into NHS based on the applications. If an application is declined during sophomore year, a student who still meets the academic standard may reapply during junior year. In order to remain in good standing, members must maintain their grade point averages and perform a set amount of community service. To be accepted into NHS sophomore year, it is important that students begin participating in CHS activities and performing community service during freshman year. • If you have questions about National Honor Society, contact Ms. Voss in the CHS counseling office.
