Those who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better, will be invited to apply for membership in the Rose Watson Chapter of the National Honor Society. At the end of the first semester there will be an informational meeting at a later date. You must attend one meeting either before school at 7:15 AM or after school at 2:45 PM. Meeting days are the 1st Thursday of every month.

At that time, you will be given a packet of information.  Any questions you may have will be answered at that time.  If you have any questions before the meeting, please see Mrs. Myles.

Information Packet

1.         Cover letter including Essay Directions

2.         Two (2) Non-Family/Non-Faculty Members Character References

3.         Three  (3) Faculty Member Character References

4.         Two (2) Community Service References

5.         Student Activity Information Sheet (4 pages)

CRITICAL INFORMATION

The DEADLINE for all packet information is February 22, 2006.  Forms which are sent through the mail should be received by that date.  Protocol calls for a student to give their references a self-addressed, stamped envelope if they want it returned by mail.  If you would rather wait for the recommendation, please have your reference return the form to you in a sealed envelope, with their signature over the seal of the envelope.  If your reference wants to drop off the recommendation, they may do so.  They can drop it in the main office where my mailbox is located.

HINT:  Read through the entire packet before you begin.  It will save you time,  trouble, and frustration.

If you or your references have a question, they may contact me at school, 399-2228, or by E-mail, kmyles@nouvel.org.

ESSAY DIRECTIONS

This essay should be written in proper in-class essay format, including a heading on the left side.  It is to be double spaced, size 12, Times New Roman font.  Refer to your Survival book to review in-class essay format..

When you write your essay, please be honest.  It is recommended that you write what you believe and why and not what you think the Faculty Council wants to hear.  Your complete honesty is greatly appreciated.

TOPIC:  To be determined

Please remember:  You have completed the first step of the application process by having a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.5 or better.  The next step of the application process is to follow the directions.  Make sure that all your t's are crossed and your i's dotted as the old saying goes.  A lack of following instructions does not constitute an emergency on the Faculty Council's part.  Good luck.  Remember if you have any questions, please contact the NHS advisor.  No question is silly or dumb, but the one which is not asked
