2. A minimum weighted G.P.A. of 3.3.
3. A minimum of 15 school related service activity points.

The weighted G.P.A. is calculated by dividing the total number of weighted quality points (QP) by the total number of credits attempted.

Teacher recommendations are based on a 0 - 4 point scale in 10 areas related to leadership and character.

Final selection is made by the Faculty Council.

Membership is retained by maintaining a 3.3 weighted G.P.A., by exhibiting character qualifications at the same level as when selected, and by participating in NHS meetings and projects and by undertaking individual service projects.
