Contact/Advisor: Mrs. Guildoo/Mrs. Hanhauser
Email: aguildoo@midviewk12.org khanhauser@midivewk12.org
How to Join: Students may NOT request membership or join as they would for other clubs/organizations. Instead, during either the second semester of JUNIOR year and/or the Fall semester of SENIOR year, students who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.5 are invited to apply. The application process involves a documented/evidenced support of the four pillars of NHS: scholarship, character, service, and leadership.
Additional Information:The application packet/invite is individually sent to qualifying students based on the cumulative GPA of 3.5 in either February (for juniors and seniors) or in October/November for seniors during their senior year. The overall service and leadership rating will be determined from sponsorship forms submitted by the student to qualifying sponsors void of teachers/employers. If invited to apply, students need a total of FIVE DIFFERENT SPONSORS (THREE SERVICE SPONSORS and TWO LEADERSHIP SPONSORS…*NOTE: a sponsor may NOT be duplicated for Service and Leadership). Sponsors will rate the student's efforts, integrity, character, responsibility, dependability, etc. for the organization/event which they are sponsoring. Ratings are scored using a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 (a score of 5 from a sponsor would define your contribution as ABSOLUTELY perfect and without any error). The AVERAGE of each category (service and leadership) will be used in determining further eligibility. Scores are confidential. Students are encouraged to choose sponsors that can speak to the above categories for participation activities during high school (anything prior to high school is ineligible). Character is determined by high school faculty, administrators, and school counselors. The NHS Faculty Council makes the final determination of membership approval using the above criterion.
