• Schedule: General membership meets on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
• Description: The mission of the Wellesley Chapter of the National Honor Society is to continue to improve the academic climate at Wellesley High School. The classes of 2023 and 2024 with an unweighted grade point average (GPA) of 3.50 or higher for courses beginning in grade nine are invited to apply to the Honor Society. Membership is not based exclusively on academic achievement; evidence of significant leadership, service, and character is also essential. Since grades are one standard used for membership in the National Honor Society, a junior or sophomore who transfers to Wellesley High School, may be considered for the Honor Society Induction in the fall of the next academic year. A student who transfers into the High School as a senior (including the summer before senior year) may not apply. In September, all Wellesley High School juniors and seniors who are not already in the National Honor Society and who have an unweighted Wellesley High School GPA of 3.50 (unrounded) will be invited to apply and will be sent a letter of invitation. Members are required to complete a minimum of 20 service hours and participate in at least two National Honor Society service activities each year to be considered an active member. Members who fall below the standards, which were the basis for their selection, shall be warned in writing by the chapter advisors and given a reasonable amount of time to correct the deficiency. In the case of a major violation of the schoolÕs code of conduct or a criminal violation, a member may be removed from the Honor Society after a hearing is held with the faculty council. All junior members are required to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.50 and complete a minimum of 20 hours of service during their junior year to retain their active membership status in September of their senior year. Failure to do so will result in dismissal. A written description of the selection and dismissal procedures is available to all interested parties upon request.
