Orangeville CUSD 203 -

The National Honor Society will consist of no more than 20 members - 12 seniors and 8 juniors.  In conjunction with the National Honor Society Guidelines, Orangeville has established a formal selection process for prospective members.  Students become eligible for Orangeville’s chapter of NHS by maintaining a minimum of 3.0 Grade Point Average.  After students have completed 12 credits, students identified as attaining the mandatory level of leadership receive a Student Activity Information Form.  These forms must be completed and returned to the chapter advisor by the assigned date.  Any information forms received after the due date will not be considered.   Once eligible students have been identified, the category of Scholarship is no longer evaluated.  A five-member faculty council, selected by the principal, will independently review the student activity forms.  This information will help support candidacy for membership.  Membership is granted only to those members selected by the faculty council.  This is not an election, nor is membership automatically conveyed simply because a student has achieved a specified level of academic performance.  NHS is more than just an honor roll.  Therefore, the selection process investigates all components (scholarship, leadership, service and character) of each candidate.  After the faculty council has independently reviewed and made recommendations for each candidate, the chapter advisor will collect the information and notify each student, via letter, of their selection.  Students will be notified at least two weeks prior to the induction ceremony. All information presented to the chapter advisor is confidential.  The advisor in conjunction with school administration has the right to remove any student from National Honor Society if they do not demonstrate qualities of scholarship, character, leadership and service.
