Honor Societies
National Honor Society The National Honor Society is a national organization with chapters at a large number of secondary schools in the country. Admittance to this society is based on the extent to which the candidates have distinguished themselves in four areas: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Membership in the National Honor Society is one of the highest honors a student can attain. At LHS, selection to the National Honor Society is made in the spring of their junior year. Students who do not qualify in the spring of their junior year are re-evaluated in the fall of senior year. The minimum GPA a student must attain for membership is 3.75. World Language Honor Societies The French and Spanish Honor Societies are national organizations. A student may be admitted during the fourth year of language study of French or Spanish if he or she received no less than an "A-" as a final grade for French/Spanish 1, 2, or 3 --OR-- no less than an "A-" as a final grade for French/ Spanish 1 and no less than a "B-" as a final grade for French/Spanish 2 or 3 Honors. If the student does not meet the above mentioned criteria as a fourth year student, he or she may also be inducted during the fifth year of study provided that the student has maintained an average of B- or higher in Honors or Standard levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the language. In addition, the student must maintain a grade of B- or higher in level 5 to enjoy continued membership in the French or Spanish Honor Societies.
