How can you know if you will make a good candidate? Please consider the following:
- Membership in National Honor Society is NOT based merely on academic attainment. If your life is making a positive impact both inside and outside of the WCHS community, you are probably a candidate for NHS.
- If you focus your activities only on school and not also on your church and community, then you are probably not a candidate for NHS.
- If you focus your energies on your church and community, but not on your school, then you are probably not a candidate for NHS.
- Are you known for pointing out problems and being proactive in bringing about solutions? If so, you are probably a candidate for NHS.
- Are you known for pointing out problems and dwelling on them or complaining about them, but not moving to make a difference? Then you are probably not a candidate for NHS.
- Do those who know you speak well of you regarding your work habits, your service and your character? If so, you are probably a candidate for NHS.
- Are you the kind of person who your parents and teachers know as one person but your friends know as someone else? If so, you are probably not a candidate for NHS.
Your candidacy will be evaluated based on the following:
- Has your high school career been marked by character, leadership and service? Your student activity and information form will provide the basis for this evaluation.
- Do your peers and those in authority recognize your character, leadership and service? Evaluations filled out by your pastor or ministry supervisor and/or employer/supervisor will provide the basis for this evaluation.
- Have you left a positive impression with those who have been your teachers over the last four years? A list of candidates will be circulated among administrators, current members of NHS and teachers, asking if they would consider each to be a fitting candidate for National Honor Society
