National Honor Society

The purpose of the National Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students of Hammonton High School.

To be eligible for membership, the candidates must be a member of the junior or senior class. Candidates must have been in attendance at H.H.S. the equivalent of one semester. In order to qualify academically, students must have a cumulative scholastic average of 3.2 on the unweighted system. The list of eligible candidates will be posted. Eligible candidates must obtain and fill out a student activity information form (SAIF). This form must be returned to the advisor by the designated date. Only those students returning this form will be included on the faculty reference survey. All eligible candidates, those having a scholastic average of 3.2 on the unweighted system and those having returned SAIF, will then be voted upon by the entire faculty in the areas of character, leadership, and service. However, the results of the faculty voting do not determine the selection of members. A five-member faculty council will use the faculty voting as input in determining the final selection of members. Final selection will be made by a majority vote of the faculty council.
