Membership in the National Honor Society of Matignon High School is by invitation only.

A faculty council of five teachers selects students for membership on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership and service. Freshmen are not eligible for membership in the National Honor Society.

In order to be considered for membership a student must qualify scholastically with a 3.7* GPA cumulative grade point average. Next, candidates must demonstrate character, leadership and service within the school and outside community. Required also is evidence of active membership in a minimum of three extracurricular activities per year.

One activity can be outside employment during the school year. Students must submit a Student Activity Information Form as documentation of their leadership, service and character.

As a National Honor Society member, a student must maintain the criteria by which he/she was selected. Failure to maintain these criteria will result in a written warning to the student; subsequent violations may cause the student to be dismissed from the society.

All candidates receive copies of the chapter By-Laws indicating expectations. These By-laws are available from the advisor for student or parent reference.

*The GPA requirement of 3.7 is effective for the incoming class of 2015, and for every succeeding class. Students in the classes of 2012, 2013, and 2014 will need to have the present GPA requirement of 3.5 in order to qualify scholastically and maintain membership in the National Honor Society.
