National Honor Society
The Aurora Borealis Chapter of the National
Honor Society operates within the constitution of the National
Honor Society as required in order to maintain our chapter.
The following rules for candidacy, and ultimately membership,
in the Aurora Chapter are dictated by the National Honor Society
Constitution.
To be eligible for membership, the candidate
must have attended Aurora High School one full semester and
must be a member of the junior or senior class.
Academic course points are assigned to each
high school course according to academic difficulty. (Point
Total Worksheet follows.) Study halls earn no points toward
membership. Criteria for service, leadership, and character
are spelled out in the National Handbook, including such things
as positive attitude, academic initiative, courtesy, concern,
respect for others, etc.
A faculty council will then evaluate candidates
on the basis of leadership, service, and character. Those
selected will be invited to join the Aurora Chapter.
To be considered for membership in the Aurora
Borealis Chapter of National Honor Society, students in grade
11 must have a GPA of 92.00% and have accumulated at least
68 course points through the first semester of grade 11. In
grade 12, students must have a GPA of 92.00% and at least
114 course points. Students who have met the academic requirements
Will be further evaluated on other requirements of service,
leadership and character by a committee of faculty members.
The points listed below represent the number
of points allowed for each semester of the course. Grade 10,
11 & 12 only.
