Mission
Our mission is to promote academic excellence, to encourage service to others, and to promote leadership
Meetings
Next meeting: September 2022
Attendance at the meetings is a requirement for membership. If you cannot attend a meeting for school-related reasons (e.g. - a soccer game, not practice), contact Mr. Chamberlin at least one day before the meeting. Failure to inform Mr. Chamberlin of your absence prior to the meeting will result in an unexcused absence for that meeting. NHS members are allowed a maximum of one unexcused absence per school year. We will be meeting in our small groups - groups coming soon.
Officers normally meet a week prior to the general assembly meeting.
Membership Requirements
Membership in NHS has its requirements:
1) Maintain at least a 3.6 overall GPA (weighted). If your GPA falls below 3.6 you will will be placed on NHS Probation and have one semester to bring is back up to 3.6 to remain in NHS.
2) Dues. $15 paid at the Palmer Business Office. If you cannot afford the dues, see Mr. Chamberlin in room 222.
3) Attend monthly meetings. One unexcused meeting will result in NHS Probation. More than one unexcused meeting will result in a Dismissal Hearing. If you need to be absent from a meeting (doctor appointment, sport game - not practice, etc.), contact Mr. Chamberlin (michael.chamberlin@d11.org) prior to the meeting.
4) Service Projects - Fall Semester: Two in-school service projects must be completed. Second Semester: Two in-school service projects must be completed. Each Semester: One individual project must be completed (can be a 3rd in-school service project). For each project you must take a "selfie" at the project site and post it to your group's media folder in the NHS Schoology Class . Include your name, the project name and a brief description of the photo. The spring due dates are: seniors - May 2; juniors - May 16.
To keep track of these requirements, GPA, meeting attendance, dues, and community service will be tracked within the NHS Schoology Class (https://d11.schoology.com/course/5370369313/materials)
