Thank you for applying to the Mercer Island High School National Honor Society! We are dedicated to encouraging academically successful and creative students to participate in service in their school as well as the local and global communities.
Please note that the MIHS National Honor Society is only open to incoming juniors and seniors (Classes of 2024 and 2025) with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. If you are a current 9th grader, we encourage you to apply next year. Applicants who were not admitted as sophomores may re-apply as juniors. Previously dismissed members may not re-apply.

MEMBERSHIP EXPECTIONS AND CONDITIONS FOR DISMISSAL
Expectations for Honor Society
· Maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher while participating in Honor Society
· Pay the fee for the club, $50 due April 24th, 2023 - the fee pays for Induction Ceremony and Honor Cords for graduation.
· Attend all meetings or follow make-up procedures for missed meetings
· Participate wholeheartedly in club service activities
· Be in good standing with the Athletic and Activity Conduct Code
· Pursue individual community service throughout the year
Conditions for Dismissal
An NHS member might be dismissed for failure to continue to meet any of the standards for membership. For example, a student whose GPA dropped below 3.5 and who did not remediate that situation by the following quarter would likely be dismissed. Similarly, a student who repeatedly failed to meet service expectations might also be dismissed. In either of these cases, the student would receive written notice of Probation and would be given time to address the situation. Serious violations, such as major academic dishonesty or commission of a crime, can lead to dismissal without notice. The faculty council decides on all matters of dismissal; an appeals process is in place. Procedures are outlined in the NHS Constitution, Article VII, available on the NHS website.
Note to the Applicant
Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character are equally weighted components for selection in National Honor Society. A high GPA doesn’t guarantee selection – it simply makes the student eligible for membership consideration. The criterion listed will be used (see attached) to evaluate the applicant’s observable leadership, character, and service.
Membership Selection Criteria
Students will be selected based on the following criteria:
- A student has at least a 3.5 GPA.
- Application scores 6 points or higher with no zeros on the following 3 criteria:
SERVICE: Based on the 3 submitted components |
0 points: no evidence of service |
LEADERSHIP Based on the 3 submitted components |
0 points: no evidence of positive leadership |
CHARACTER Based on the 2 submitted components |
0 points: exhibits undesirable behavior |
