National Honor Society Selection Process Begins Orono High School will soon be starting the process of selecting new members of the National Honor Society for 1989-1990. No application is necessary. Membership is the highest honor that Orono High School can bestow upon those students who have exhibited exemplary academic and personal qualities. The following guidelines are used by the Orono High School Faculty to select members of the National Honor Society. 1. Only juniors and seniors are eligible. Students who are early graduates or semester drops are not eligible. 2. One must have a cumulative grade point average of at least a B (3iX)). 3. AU students considered must consent to be rated by teachers and sign a release to that effect 4. One must have been in attendance full time for a minimum of two quarters as a residency requirement. 5. Four factors are used to determine which students from the list of eligible candidates will finally become members. They are scholarship, character, service and leadej ’ship. 6. The faculty rates students on character, service and leadership and this is combined with the student's cumulative grade point average which represents the fourth factor scholarship. To be further considered a candidate must be rated by at least five faculty members. 7. A numerical formula is used to combine the ratings and grade point average into a composite four digit score. 8. A cut point is used. All junior or senior candidates meeting or exceeding this cut point wiMf be inducted into the National Honor Society during ceremonies in the auditorium on May 15,1990.
