Chapter By-Laws

1. The Richard B. Miller Chapter of the National Honor Society abides by all standards established by the National Council of NHS.
2. Selection to the Richard B. Miller Chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) is based on the following four criteria:  scholarship, leadership, character, and service.  These criteria are determined by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. (NASSP)
3. Students who meet a scholarship requirement of a GPA of 3.25 during their junior year will automatically receive application materials in the spring of their junior year.
4. Seniors who have previously applied and whose applications were not accepted may reapply during the fall of their senior year, provided they continue to meet the scholarship requirement.
5. Students must submit all required materials for membership consideration; a list of these materials will be provided within the application packet.
6. Teacher feedback is used to gather information regarding student character, service, and leadership in the classroom.
7. Applications are reviewed by a five-member Faculty Council, appointed by the principal.  Membership is determined by a majority vote of the Faculty Council.
8. Student members will pay annual dues of $5.00 for each full year they are members.
9. The chapter adviser maintains records of service hours, activities, grades, and financial transactions.  
10. Students who do not comply with required service hours and/or meeting attendance will be warned in writing by the adviser.  Members are required to complete 10 hours of community service during each semester of membership, except their first semester of membership. (Only 5 are required during the first semester.)  Two of these 10 hours should be done in organization-sponsored activities.
11. Students who continually do not comply with chapter requirements may be dismissed by the Faculty Council, following a disciplinary hearing. Dismissal is determined by a majority vote of the Faculty Council.
12. Failure to comply with warnings or being warned for more than one requirement at the same time will result in a hearing before Faculty Council, with possible dismissal. A student who is dismissed cannot place membership on his/her college applications.
13. Membership meetings are mandatory and are held on the first Wednesday of each month.  Typically, there is a morning meeting and an afternoon meeting.  Students who cannot attend a meeting must see an adviser BEFORE missing the meeting and submit written notice.  Students who continually do not attend meetings will face disciplinary action and/or dismissal.
