Students are selected for this honor based on five criteria: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Character, and Citizenship.

Scholarship:

Students who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher meet the scholarship requirement for membership. These students are then eligible for consideration on the basis of service, leadership, and character.

Service:

This quality is defined through the voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit.

Leadership:

Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, promoters of school activities, idea-contributors, dependable, and persons who exemplify positive attitudes about life. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.

Character:

The student of good character upholds principles of morality and ethics, is cooperative, demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability, shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others, and generally maintains a good and clean lifestyle.

Citizenship:

The student who demonstrates citizenship understands the importance of civic involvement, has a high regard for freedom, justice, and democracy, and demonstrates mature participation and responsibility through involvement with such activities as scouting, community organizations, and school clubs.

 “We are very proud of all of the members and the new inductees,” said HS principal Mr. Rich DeMallie.
