National Honor Society

National Honor Society

National Honor Society (NHS): The Aquinas Chapter of the National Honor Society recognizes the academic excellence of Notre Dame Students. Members must have an overall grade point average of 94% or above. They must also manifest qualities of leadership, character, service, and scholarship.
The faculty committee uses the following criteria in approving students for membership:
  1. Leadership: evidence of demonstrated leadership in and out of the classroom–elected, appointed, or informal.
  2. Character: evidence of meeting pledges and responsibilities, honesty and reliability, cooperation with school practices, and concern for others.
  3. Service: evidence of service to the school or community through formal and informal organizations, willingness to cooperate and to do committee work, participation in school activities.
  4. Scholarship: evidence of academic motivation and discipline, critical thinking, and the ability to establish goals and complete tasks.
Process of being inducted: In September of their senior year, students submit an application that is reviewed by a selection committee composed of school faculty. The committee evaluates whether the student meets all four pillars before offering membership into the National Honor Society. Ms. Ioana Donose, our Science Department Chair, moderates this society.
