CARDINAL CHAPTER of NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
The National Honor Society is a service organization as well as a special honor. The Doniphan-Trumbull chapter of National Honor Society is the Cardinal Chapter. All 10th, 11th and 12 grade students with a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average are eligible to seek membership.
SELECTION:
Eligible students are notified during the second semester of the current school year via mail. Eligible students then continue their candidacy by completing and returning the National Honor Society Application Form. Candidates are evaluated on the four areas of the NHS: Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character. A separate score for each aspect of membership is given on a 4.0 scale. Scholarship is based on the students’ grade point average. Leadership and Service ratings are on a 4.0 scale, based on the student’s application by a committee of teacher evaluators. The entire faculty rates each applicant on the aspect of Character on a 4.0 scale as well. The average score of these four areas is used to determine those who are offered membership in the Cardinal Chapter of National Honor Society. Candidates need to demonstrate outstanding performance in all four criteria areas. For more information, please contact counselor Nikki Sjuts at 845-6531.
