NATIONAL DANCE HONOR SOCIETY

GENERAL INFORMATION

PURPOSE: To provide an organization dedicated to the advancement of dance
and dance education in secondary schools, studios, colleges, universities, and
other institutions of higher learning that offer programs in dance instruction in
one or more genres; and to recognize and encourage academic excellence and
scholarship, dance technique or technical support, choreography, and service
to the school and community.

RATIONALE: Creative thinking is the core of 21st century learning; and, as a
dance educator, you are a primary creative officer in your school. Sponsoring a
chapter of the National Dance Society honor society magnifies the innovation,
skills, and scholarship that your dance program brings to your school and
community. Having a dance honor society at your school or studio raises the
profile and stature of your dance program, making both your institution and
community aware of the activities and success of your students, and increases
the visibility of dance as a creative, academic subject.

Opportunities for national recognition, scholarships, publication, and
connectivity to other outstanding dance students, as well as dance teachers and
professionals, are available to your students as members of Delta Eta Pi.

MEMBERSHIP: Membership in the Honor Society is based on a student's
fulfillment of four requirements - scholarship, leadership, service, and
character.

will be cumulative from year to year at an institution/school. Members can
submit service hours in external organizations for approval to complete the 5
service hours per year.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY SCHOLIA CHAPTER

The National Honor Society was founded in 1921 and is sponsored by the
National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). International
School Manila became a chartered member on March 23, 1979 under charter
#17038. There are currently over 18,000 secondary schools, both public and
private, and both in the U.S. and international, that are members of NHS.

Four main purposes have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: "To
create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to
promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of secondary
schools." These purposes also translate into the criteria used for membership
selection in each chapter.

The NHS National Council establishes the national standards for all NHS
chapters. Local chapters create their own by-laws which are to be consistent
with and comply with the NHS National Constitution. Any student in grades
10 through 12 is eligible for consideration for membership. All membership
selection is handled through the local school chapter.

 

 

 

 

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY SCHOLIA CHAPTER

Consideration for Membership:

A student must have a cumulative GPA of 6.25 or higher. The student will be
considered from the sophomore, junior or senior year for membership in NHS.
Applications for membership will be available to all students who qualify
academically in February. Students will submit applications to the NHS
sponsor according to the deadline. Once an application is submitted, a faculty
council of 5 members will convene to assess the other areas of consideration –
leadership, service, and character – according to the NHS guidelines. Students
who qualify and those who do not qualify will be notified of their status in
relation to NHS memberships no later than May 15.

Maintenance of Membership:

To remain in NHS, a student must maintain a GPA of 6.25 or higher, continue
to excel in the areas of service, leadership, and character. If a student does not
maintain this GPA, he/she will be placed on probation for one semester. If a
student does not qualify a second consecutive semester, he/she will be
dropped from membership in NHS. If a member engages in any other activity
which falls under the ineligibility provisions, the NHS Committee will meet
and decide whether or not the student will remain a member. All members are
required to participate in all NHS organized events throughout the year to
maintain their membership.
