Science National Honor Society
America has been honoring brilliant students through honor societies since 1921. Educators noticed the need for subject-specific honor societies in America’s high schools in the 1980s. Since then, new honor societies have sprung up to recognize and encourage students in English, Art, French, and Spanish. Until now, there has been no national honor society for Science. In this era of rapidly changing technologies and scientific advancement, it is time to encourage and recognize high school students in the Sciences.
SNHS is a prominent scientific organization that will engender a new group of young thinkers who will be the future of industry, research, and scientific exploration in America.
Qualifications:
- Each member is classified as a junior or senior at HHS.
- Each member must have and maintain an unweighted 90% average in science.
- Each Junior member must have completed two honors-level science courses and be enrolled in an upper-level science course.
- Each Senior member must have completed three honors-level science courses and be enrolled in an upper-level science course.
Students eligible for the Science National Honor Society will receive a letter stating the above qualification and an invitation. Our induction ceremony will be held in November to welcome new members.
Students will be required to attend meetings (1 per month during FLEX), participate in science labs (After school), and participate in volunteer hours (a minimum of 3 hours). Students must maintain their 90% unweighted science grade and the above to graduate with honors and receive their graduation cord.
Meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month in room AB-6.
