The National Honor Society is a nationwide organization that recognizes high school students in the United States who demonstrate excellence in four key areas: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Members are selected based on academic performance, leadership ability, volunteerism, and a commitment to upholding a strong moral character. NHS fosters a culture of service and personal growth, preparing students for future academic and professional success.
All juniors and seniors who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher are invited to apply in the fall of each school year. *Current members do not need to reapply. In order to maintain membership from one year to the next, students must complete 10 hours of summer community service hours.
Through the application process, advisors and faculty members will evaluate potential members based on the following considerations:
Scholarship
- Students have a strong academic record.
- A minimum GPA of 3.5 or higher
Leadership
- Students lead by example, inspire others, and take initiative.
- Students have held formal and informal leadership roles. This includes roles such as team captain, club officer, student government member, or project leader.
Service
- Students participate in volunteer work.
- This could be through school clubs, religious groups, community centers, or other organizations.
Character
- Students act with integrity, honesty, and respect. They are responsible, trustworthy, and treat others kindly.
- Teachers and peers know you as someone who can be counted on to show up and represent Roseville Area High School in a positive way.
- Students submit a 350–500-word character essay explaining how a person's choices reveal the truth behind someone's character.
