    Selection Procedure Description

    The National Honor Society chapter of Glendale High School is a duly chartered and affiliated chapter of this prestigious national organization. Membership is open to those students who meet the required standards in four areas of evaluation: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Students are selected for membership by a majority vote of a five-member principal-appointed faculty council, which bestows this honor upon qualified students on behalf of the faculty of our school each September.

    Students who are incoming 11th or 12th  are eligible for membership. For the scholarship criterion, a student must have a cumulative weighted GPA of 4.0 on a 5.0 Scale. Each spring, students who meet this criterion are invited to complete a Candidate Form that provides the faculty council with information regarding the candidate’s leadership and service.  

    The faculty council uses two input forms to evaluate a candidate's character. First, school disciplinary records are reviewed. Second, members of the faculty are solicited for input regarding their professional reflections on a candidate’s service activities, character, and leadership.  Any solicited faculty input and the faculty council carefully review all Candidate Forms to determine membership. A majority vote of the council is necessary for selection. Candidates are notified regarding selection or non-selection according to a predetermined schedule.

    Following notification, a formal induction ceremony is held at the school to recognize all the newly selected members. Once inducted, new members must maintain the same level of performance (or better) in all four criteria that led to their selection, as well as 8 community service hours per year.
