National Honor Society |
| Membership in the National Society demands a scholastic average grad of 3.200. The students below have such an average or above. Election to membership, however, requires more than merely being a top student scholastically. Therefore, we are asking all faculty members to rate the following candidates in the qualities of Service, Leadership, and Character with the following scale: |
Superior = 40 Good = 30 Average = 20 Poor = 10 |
| Please rate only those students with whom you are acquainted. Most of
you have had some contact with each of these students, but there may be
exceptions to this and if you feel that you cannot justifiably rate any
one of them, do not do so. Please mark your ballot with the utmost secrecy and under no condition should we discuss the election with any students. Return these sheets to Mrs. Turner before 4/24/06 at 3:05 p.m. Any rating of 10 or below should be accompanied by a brief comment. |
