If you
received an acceptance letter to the National Business Honor Society, but were unable
to attend the meeting after school yesterday, please stop by the Business
Department.
It’s that time of year for eligible juniors and seniors to start
applying for membership in National Honor Society! If you are a junior with a
cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, or a senior with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or
higher, then you are eligible to apply for membership. Eligible students
should have received a letter at their home address, inviting them to apply and
also explaining the application process. If your GPA makes you eligible
for NHS, but you haven't received a letter at home, please contact Mr. Smith or
Ms. McGeorge in the science office, or Ms. Leclaire in language arts. This letter also tells you about important
informational meetings going on this week, where potential applicants will
learn about the club and the application process. If you are applying for
membership in NHS, you must attend one of the four meetings scheduled for
before and after school on Thursday and Friday. So if you are planning to
apply for membership, please plan on attending one of these meetings.
Juniors, time is running out! You only have two days
left to register for the PSAT!
So bring $15.00 and your student ID to the Guidance Center and sign up for this
very important test before it’s too late! The last day to register is tomorrow, Wednesday,
