Mission Statement:

The National  Honors Society wishes to encourage student involvement within Sherwood High School and the community through the enhancement of academic success among all students, service within Sherwood and the community and the development of character and growth in leadership.

An often misunderstood notion is that students automatically qualify for membership based on grades alone.  While grades are used as one of the requirements, students must also demonstrate leadership ability.

The requirements for the National Honor Society are:

1.      Scholarship:  A cumulative grade point average of: 3.7 unweighted or 4.0 weighted. Note the cumulative grade point average is found on the students transcript.

2.      Leadership: Evidence of leadership positions and recommendations from an advisor

3.      Service: Evidence of community service and participation in extracurricular activities

4.      Character:  Evidence of good character and at least four recommendations from faculty.

To maintain eligibility in the National Honor Society:

• Maintain the required grade point average.

• Actively participate in both mandatory and volunteer NHS activities and complete 5 honor points per semester

• Maintain and uphold the good character befitting to a member of the National Honor Society and representative of Sherwood HS.
