 Selection Criteria Changes

In June, the five-member NHS Faculty Council met to reevaluate the criteria for selection in the Catherine E. Churchill chapter of NHS in an effort to ensure that those criteria are consistent with the school’s core values and beliefs and as part of the school’s ongoing self-assessment in preparation for its 2013 accreditation visit.  In conjunction with the Principal, the Faculty Council unanimously voted to raise the minimum grade point average requirement from 3.3 to 3.5, beginning with the 2012-13 academic year selection process.   As always, all current members of the chapter are expected to maintain the standards under which they were inducted.

 Fundraising Activity

With the help of the MS and HS Faculty, NHS members donated $299 to the Hospice of the Northshore and participated in the annual Walk for Hospice at St. John’s Prep on Sunday, September 23.
