     National Elementary Honor Society

    Students in the 5th grade who excel academically and model exceptional responsibility can become members through a local selection process that concludes with induction into Bartram Springs Elementary’s National Elementary Honor Society chapter.

    Membership provides an outstanding means to prepare and shape students for their middle level and high school experiences.

    NEHS Eligibility Requirements

    Students who meet the requirements for membership outlined by their school’s chapter are eligible to be invited for membership.

    Each chapter is required to publish its qualifications for membership, which is based on the four pillars of NEHS:

    • Scholarship
      Per national guidelines, at a minimum, students must have a cumulative GPA of 85, B, 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent standard of excellence. (Each school chapter is allowed to require a higher cumulative GPA.)
    • Responsibility
    • Service
    • Leadership

    Students who meet the scholarship requirement will have an opportunity to complete a form detailing other accomplishments and attributes.

    Understanding the Obligations of Membership

    Students who accept membership and are inducted into the chapter should be aware of the time and commitment involved with this honor. For example, there may be chapter meetings. The chapter bylaws should articulate the yearly meeting schedule and member attendance obligations. Members also must participate in chapter service projects to benefit the school and community.
