This was unexpected. Today I was invited to join the National Honor Society. for those who don't know, It is for upcoming juniors and seniors and is for people who have a 90% cumulative grade overall. Anyone else accepted?
 
Not I, but congrats anyway! I received an email today about my 10 year high school reunion. Good god that time went fast.
 
Our school lets you join the NHS if you have a GPA of 3.75 or higher. The middle school had National Junior Honors Society (NJHS) and you were part of that if your GPA was 3.75 or higher as well. I was part of NJHS and I am not part of NHS yet because I haven't had a full year of school at the high school yet.

Congratulations Anyway!
 
our school you get invited at the end of your sophomore year. which is where I'm at. all you have to have is a 90% cumulative average, and no discipline problems.
 
Nope, and never will be.

I'm sitting in my last year of high school.
I was asked back 10th grade, then 11th, but declined both.
 
Congrats. dude! :cheers:

Now's the time to ask your parents for a larger allowance. 👍
 
Next time search for things. I created a thread about this only a couple of months ago.

Aside from that, congratulations, but be prepared for the volunteer hours you will have to do.
 
I got invited and would have been accepted in, but the damn paper pushers at my high school didn't get me the application until TWO DAYS AFTER the deadline.

I was so pissed off at them .. come to think of it, I still am.
 
Congrats, I was in the same thing as you when I graduated.

National Honor Society, National Society of High School Scholars, etc. Needless to say I was never very book smart and I never studied. But I could always figure things out. Guess it's the engineer in me.

But congrats it looks great on a college apps. Also equates to scholarship money, which is always nice.
 
Congratulations!

That is indeed an honor. Stay close with these people as contacts you establish now, will help you later on in life.

I know.

Congrats on the nomination. I've been in NHS for 2 years. I'll be a senior next year and I've just been voted as president. In a way I'm looking forward to it but it'll be big responsibility especially during a busy senior year. So, wish me luck guys!

Good luck with that. I know our president, he is very responsible indeed, and I'm sure you'll do great if you get the position.
 
I have a friend in NHS. He's a boyscout, so that's about the only reason he got in. My other friend tried, but didn't get in, and he was pissed for a while, but now he says he's so glad he didn't get in. They asked me twice, but anything that requires going through all of that damn paperwork JUST TO GET IN!!!........Not worth it for me. My sister was in it, and said it was stupid, they never did anything. She didn't get any scholarship money. She was involved with everything to. I'm the complete opposite.

I think I might try applying to all of the top schools in the nation...just to see if they accept. I get good test scores and stuff, so I'll just see if I can prove my mom wrong, and get in to great schools with no involvement, just high scores. Not that'd I'd go to any of those schools....too many squares, ya know? Damn beurocrats. But, if you don't mind doing lots of work and stuff to get in, go ahead and give it a shot....they're pretty damn selective around here, though.

The teachers at are school are quite negative about everything I guess. They tell us that it doesn't matter if you are in NHS. They say you don't get any scholarships from it. and it doesn't change the way your college application looks because these days it is so hard to get into a university or college they don't really care. The majority of us will never make it to a school, much less be able to get an OK job. They say there are too many people that all want the same, so we have a small chance for schooling and employment. It always worries me because I don't want to grow up to be a bum.
 
I could probably get in, but I don't do any extracurricular avtivities. I find it funny that a lot of the "smarter" students are only worried about grades. I don't think going to a great college is all that important.
 
NHS has become such a "so-so" thing around here that I don't know a single person in it (and trust me, all of my friends are 4.xx GPA students, so I'm not hanging out with a dumb crowd). I just got invited into the Spanish Honor Society, but I don't even know what the heck they do.

Many congrats, my babbling aside. :)
 
Australia doesn't have these sort of things, but I guess congratulations? So this is basically like some extra-curriculum things?
 
^You get in by having a certain GPA. Once you are in the group, you have to do some different things for the community, mainly. You also may learn a few other things that may help you in life like, how to get along with your peers or how to work in a group.

NHS isn't really all that prestigious anymore. In my opinion, it should be more selective, but I give you congratulations anyways. :)

I'm sure it's different in other states, but where I live it's almost the opposite. I think my mom said she was in it, along with a bunch of low A grade students. She said it was easy to get into it when she went to High School, but when they were telling me about it they said that we were the top 3 or 4 (I think) % in the school. Then again, the schools back then probably didn't have near the number of students as today.
 
In my school almost everyone that I knew was invited to NHS... I don't find it that exclusive. But still it's better to be in it.
 
^It depends on the grades people at your school get, as to how exclusive it is, I guess. If people get better grades, it won't be exclusive.
 
I am preety smart and I didn't get asked for it. My carrer GPA, 3.64, is pretty low because I messed around too much. My brother is in it and it really doesn't seem to do much. The only thing I remember then doing is painting the bathrooms. If I get my GPA up I guess I will apply and probly make it, but I won't kill myself if I don't.
 
Damn, sounds like it's easy for you guys, just a 3.75 GPA. Around here, you have to have a certain number of community volunteer hours, get recommendations filled out by teachers/community members, and have "leadership qualities." Hell if I know what they mean by that, I guess just SUPER-preps, the kinds of people who piss the preps of they're so preppy. Damn preps, they can blast me a dugie.

We do too, but we do the community service hours after we make it in.
