<p>"3.0 for NHS???</p>
<p>My kids’ school required a 3.75 GPA"</p>
<p>There are schools were the valedictorian has about a 3.4.</p>
<p>One of my mentees attended an inner city school in Detroit where having a 3.0 qualified one for NHS. Of the about 800 students in the junior and senior class, only about 21 qualified for NHS. Most of those didn’t bother joining because being in NHS attracted bullying and teasing. </p>
<p>My mentee had a lot of guts and chose to be NHS president. </p>
<p>The atmosphere of school like some inner city schools is very different from what occurs at the kind of schools where most of our kids have attended – schools where students vie to be in NHS.</p>
