Selection Process The selection process involves a thorough evaluation of each student. To be admitted, students must exceed the ideals of leadership, character, and service listed.
•
Each faculty member completes an evaluation form on each nominee.
•
The 5-member faculty council, and the NHS Adviser, evaluates each student using the faculty evaluations and the Student Information Forms.
•
A majority vote by the 5-member faculty council is needed for a student to be admitted.
•
It is possible that a student may not be admitted due to average or low evaluations of character, leadership, or service. The selection committee looks for students who meet or exceed the high standards listed.

Average scores, even from honor roll students, may not result in acceptance.

Students who are denied admission are informed or their low scoring areas. They may then work to improve in those areas and may reapply senior year.
