John M. Dice Chapter
of the National Honor Society
Chapter Adviser: Derek
Lambert
Qualifications for Membership:
Induction into the NHS is more than just being on the Honor Roll,
although students are required to have at least a 3.0, or 85%, grade
point average (GPA). They are also judged on service, leadership,
and character.
Service: This quality is defined through
the voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or
community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous
and enthusiastic spirit.
Leadership: Student leaders are those who are resourceful,
good problem solvers, promoters of school activities, idea contributors,
dependable, and who exemplify positive attitudes about life. Leadership
experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while
working with or for others.
Character: The student of good character upholds principles
of morality and ethics, is cooperative, demonstrates high standards
of honesty and reliability, shows courtesy, concern, and respect
for others, and generally maintains a good clean lifestyle.
Chapter Activities:
Each year every NHS chapter is required to create and carry out
a community or school educational service project. This usually
consists of members going to the elementary schools and reading
to kindergarten or first grade classes.
Members are in charge of popping popcorn at all the home high school
and middle school basketball games.
The annual member induction and new officer induction ceremony is
in April or May.
