Invitation into the National Honor Society requires students to display each of the four pillars.

After being accepted as members, students must earn six hours of community service per semester and maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Leadership experience is required and can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.

Students must demonstrate high standards of honesty and reliability, show courtesy, concern, and respect for others, be cooperative, and maintain a clean disciplinary record.

Students who meet the scholarship requirement have an opportunity to complete a form detailing their accomplishments in and commitment to service, leadership, and character.
