Selection
Procedure
The Faculty Advisory Council selects members on the basis
of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Students
must have attended MHS for at least one full semester in order
to be eligible for membership, have a cumulative GPA of 94
or above, and currently ranked as a sophomore, junior, or
senior. In addition, students eligible for membership as sophomores
must have completed or be enrolled in 2 Pre-AP, AP or honors
classes. Students eligible for membership as juniors must
have completed or be enrolled in 3 Pre-AP, AP or honors classes.
Students eligible for membership as seniors must have completed
or be enrolled in 4 Pre-AP, AP or honors classes. Once scholarship
requirements have been met, the Council will be given a list
of eligible candidates to select. Induction of new members
will be held in the spring of the school year.
Transfer Members
Transfer members from other NHS chapters may be admitted to
the Meridian NHS chapter if they meet the scholarship requirements
for our chapter and verification of membership in good standing
from their previous school.
Graduation with
NHS Honors
In order to graduate with NHS honors (collar, seal on diploma,
NHS designation in graduation program, etc.) students must:
(1) Be a member in good standing (meet attendance requirements
at meetings, complete required community service, and not
be on probation)
(2) Have completed 4 AP, Pre-AP or Honors Courses
(3) Have a cumulative GPA of 94 or above
Meetings/Responsibilites
NHS meetings will be the first Wednesday of each month at
7:40 a.m. The Secretary will keep membership attendance. Members
are required to attend all meetings unless
absent from school or at a school sponsored activity. Meetings
missed will result in an increase of required community service
hours. It is also each member's responsibility to check their
cumulative GPA at the end of every semester.
