The main purpose of the National Honor Society is to recognize and honor students who have met the four requirements of membership; however, our chapter also strives to participate in one or more service activities each year.

Advisor: Lillian Christy

How to join: Selection of National Honor Society members is based on four criteria: academics, service, character, and leadership. Academically eligible candidates (sophomores, juniors, or seniors with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.7) will be invited to submit a portfolio highlighting their service and leadership activities. The portfolio should also include letters of recommendation regarding their character. Once the portfolios are received, a faculty council will convene to consider and vote into membership those students meeting the four qualifications.

Students are advised that neither their GPA nor their submission of a portfolio is a guarantee of acceptance. According to the National Honor Society Constitution, only students who have been in the school for at least one semester may be considered for membership.

Meetings: Meetings are as needed (usually four or five times a year) and are generally held during lunch. Attendance is required.

Math Olympiad is an international program designed for students who enjoy math and want to be challenged to a new level of excellence. The goals of Math Olympiad are to stimulate enthusiasm for math, introduce new concepts, and foster mathematical creativity.

There are five monthly contests provided by the International Math Olympiad Organization. The number of correctly answered challenges on each test allow students to earn individual and team points. During a middle school assembly at the end of the school year, each participant is recognized for their team contribution and the highest scoring team members are honored.
