NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY



NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY 2020

In order to continue the selection process concerning your potential candidacy for the NHS, completion of the attached forms is necessary. The information required pertains to your extra-curricular, community and volunteer activities and to your leadership experiences. The completion of these forms DOES NOT GUARANTEE that you will be extended an invitation for membership. It is merely the next step in the selection process.

The Lodi Faculty and Administration will then be asked to evaluate you in the areas of leadership and character. After all these materials have been submitted, we will schedule you for an interview. Then, your profile will be presented to the Honors Committee. After the evaluation process is completed, invitations for induction into the Lodi Chapter 1559 of the NHS will be extended to those individuals who have met ALL qualifications.

Please obtain faculty/coach/advisor signatures for extra-curricular activities and leadership positions within this school. For activities outside of school, you must obtain a letter verifying your participation in the activity. The letters of verification must be on letterhead stationery and must be hand delivered or faxed to us at 973-478-4012 no later than Wednesday, February 26, 2020.

In order to expedite the selection process, you must go to the Chapter 1559 website, download, and print your candidate worksheets. (See below for the website’s URL.) Then submit the completed and signed forms to us NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, February 26, 2020 by 2:40 p.m. If you do not return the forms by Wednesday, your name will be withdrawn from consideration, and we will assume that you are not interested in membership into the National Honor Society. DO NOT PUT YOUR PACKETS INTO OUR MAILBOXES; HAND THEM DIRECTLY TO ONE OF US. If you have any questions concerning the process or the forms, please see Mrs. Neshan in Room 119 or Mr. Tarleton in Room 129 or contact us at Danielle.neshan@lodi.k12.nj.us or Albert.tarleton@lodi.k12.nj.us.
