Each member of NHS must
exemplify the following characteristics:
1. Leadership
2. Character
3. Service
4. Scholarship
Merits
Students will earn a total of 100 merits this year. Students receive
10 merits for each service project (independent and group). It
is necessary to earn a total of 9 merits per month for 9 months,
one for each meeting you attend, and 8 for service. This will
add to 101 points, allowing for one missed meeting without an
excuse. The purpose of the merit system is to help you establish
a lifelong habit of service and leadership.
Demerits
Students will be given 5 demerits (deducted from your total) if
you miss either a meeting or a club function without an excuse.
You will also fail to earn the merits associated with each. If you
do have a signed, verifiable excuse for missing a meeting or a function,
you will not receive demerits, but you must attend a make-up meeting
and do extra service to gain the points missed at the club function.
NHS
is a service organization. Each member must participate in one
group project and one individual project per year. Many activities
are sponsored by and attended by NHS students.
