National Honor Society
Junior and senior students are considered for membership in the N.H.S. To be considered, a student must
have earned a minimum grade point average of 3.5, and also be enrolled at FCHS one semester prior to
induction. Sophomores who have a minimum grade point average of 4.0 will be considered for membership.
The process is as follows:
1. All students are asked to complete an autobiographical sketch. This form is used by the faculty council. Please be as complete as possible. Each year students will have an opportunity to add information to their forms.
2. All students who are academically eligible are evaluated by their teachers in the following areas:
a. Character - This includes the ability to behave with honesty and truth, comply with school rules and respect others and their property.
b. Leadership - This includes supporting school activities, influencing peers to uphold standards, and demonstrating a positive attitude.
c. Service - This includes being helpful, cheerful, dependable, willing to represent the school, working well with others, and being involved in outside activities (church and/or community).
3. The faculty council (consisting of five teachers who are appointed by the principal) will meet and discuss those students listed.
4. The principal will be given the list of nominees for final approval.
Once a student is inducted into the N.H.S., he/she must abide by the requirements specified in the bylaws in order to retain membership. Parents may request a conference if they have questions about National Honor Society.
