National Honors Society Applications for Sophomores through Seniors.

Dear Colleagues, Families and Students

For the first time in many years, perhaps for the first time ever, NHS will be  admitting sophomores (in addition to juniors).  NHS applications will be available from Friday, April 11, and will be provided two days early to those choir and band students leaving town after Wednesday classes.  The deadline for turning in applications is Monday, April 21.  Application forms are available in rooms 113 and E115.   (Note: This is the second time in the present school year that NHS will be accepting new candidates.  Those who are accepted will participate in the invocation ceremony next January, along with those students admitted in the fall.) 

We will attempt to publicize this information as much as possible, but invariably there will be students who will learn too late about this new development.  Applicants should possess a 3.5 GPA and should have demonstrated involvement in community service and/or Southwest extracurricular activities, including student council, theater, music, athletics, etc.  It should be added that NHS is a service organization dedicated to doing good works in Southwest and the larger community.

Please contact us if you have questions.
