Students from grades 10 through 12 who maintain an overall average of 90%, display positive leadership skills, have a well-rounded character and are involved in community service activities may be considered to participate in the society.

Following a careful selection process in the spring of each year, those students who are chosen to become members are inducted. A Faculty Council is responsible for this selection process and the regulations of the society. The society, recognized throughout the United States and internationally, is "both the public recognition of accomplishment and the private commitment to continued excellence on the part of the new member" (National Honor Society Manual, p. 23).
