After introducing each boy in chapel, Dean of Academics Emily Pulsifer P’15, P’17 posthumously recognized a 19th junior. RJ Fox ’25 had applied for the NHS and been unanimously recommended for induction.
At Christ School, the selection process for the NHS begins with student applications and faculty consider several key elements in awarding the distinction of membership.
According to faculty advisor Dr. Brent Harris, these elements are considered as a cumulative record for students who are rising seniors, and it is understood that students who are selected go above and beyond in these three areas of commitment:
1. Scholastic achievement: Measured as a 3.9 weighted grade-point average for three consecutive semesters with A/B grades.
2. Honorable character: Measured by judiciary and honor history.
3. Dedication to the service of others: Measured in annual service of at least 20 hours.
