<p>When I looked at the recent statistics of the 2009 class I noticed that more than 60% of the cadets were in National Honor Society. How important is this? Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>I think its just really easy to join.</p>
<p>I think you have to qualify academically and have a certain number of hours of community service. In addition you probably have to maintain a certain gpa and continue with minimum hours of community service. I don't think it's necessarily too easy to qualify. Finally I expect that the numbers wouldn't be posted on the Admissions page if WP didn't think it was important.</p>
<p>At my school, you must have over a 3.75 and be approved by a board of teachers. You must have lots of extracurriculars and also lots of service hours. I know it differs from school to school though. I'm in NHS, its pretty cool.</p>
<p>At our school you're required to have over a 3.4 I think (we don't weight grades at all) and have taken an honors or AP class sometime between 9-11 grade. Oh, yeah, and they make teachers sign off for you. Not bad. Service hours to stay in...5 per semester I believe.</p>
<p>All of your NHS programs make me feel guilty. Ours is run by the guidance counselor, which means that absolutely nothing gets done with it. We never have meetings, making it more of an award than an activity. Sad, I know.</p>
<p>do you know anything about starting clubs at a school?
our school doesnt have a national honor society and I think that would be major leadership points if I started one</p>
<p>plus I would get to be president :)</p>
<p>I believe that you have to aqcuire a charter from the NHS headquarters. I would start looking at their website.</p>
