Hours Log Sheet

      NHS Activities

 

      NHS membership requires that every member complete 15 hours of community service each semester.

      Of these, 10 are free to be chosen by the student. The remaining five are divided between NHS's main

      school service programs: tutoring, in or out of school, and ushering various performances at the high

      school. Hours are turned in to the NHS president or vice president at the end of the semester, to be

      ultimately reviewed by the adviser. 

 

 

      Applying for Membership 

 

      Students are eligible to apply for NHS membership in the 11th or 12th grades, given a minimum

      cumulative GPA of 93 and participation in a variety of extracurricular organizations and service

      activities. The applicant must also present two letters of recommendation, not from teachers or

      family members. Inductions are held in the fall of an accepted applicant's junior or senior year. 

 

      Further questions about NHS activities or membership may be directed to Ms. Memis, mmemis@gpsd.us.
