The National Honor Society at LCCS was granted its charter in 1985. Students are invited to become members of the National Honor Society based on scholarship, leadership, service and character. Although academic performance is of great importance, membership is based on all four areas. Membership in the NHS is not simply an extension of the Honor Roll. Initiation is in the spring of each year with membership limited to grades 11 and 12. A student must have completed at least three quarters of a year at LCCS to be considered for induction into the organization.

  • Enrollment in at least one pre-A or honors course at LCCS
  • Conduct grades of E or S in the year of selection
  • No Major disciplinary offenses or more than one Minor disciplinary offense during the previous year

 

If a student meets the above criteria, s/he may apply for membership. The membership committee consists of four faculty members.

This committee may seek input from other sources in their decision-making.
