THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
The purpose of the National Honor Society chapter at Saint Ignatius High School is to create enthusiastic scholarship, to present opportunities to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character. Historically, the NHS has come to be recognized and utilized as a service organization in our school; members serve as tour guides, ushers, and greeters at numerous school and community events throughout the year.
Information will be provided to students in the winter of their junior year regarding applications. Criteria for applying will be emailed to all juniors, and those eligible to apply may do so. Students with documented incidences of cheating, plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty will not be considered for membership; students with disciplinary violations, or a significant number of tardies or absences will also not be considered.
NOTE: Simply applying, even if one meets the application criteria, does not make one automatically eligible for membership. The National Honor Society is reserved for exceptional students in the areas of academics, leadership, character, and service to St. Ignatius High School. The faculty shall determine membership, and will be guided by the procedures of our local chapter at Saint Ignatius High School, and by the directives in the Constitution of the national organization.
Continued membership in the NHS is contingent upon active participation expressed in the constitution and by maintaining the appropriate academic level and disciplinary status. Any member who falls below the standards that were the basis of his election shall be either warned or dismissed as a member. Any flagrant violation of school or community rules, such as, but not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, violation of drug and alcohol policy, insubordination, illegal entrance, or theft of school property, will be dismissed immediately. Once a member is dismissed, he is never again eligible for NHS membership. If a student has already applied to college with NHS membership on his resume, he will be expected to notify those colleges, in writing, of his dismissal from the organization. If the student chooses not to do so, the moderator will notify those colleges.
