National Honor Society

The Maynard High School Chapter of the National Honor Society recognizes members of the junior and senior classes who have demonstrated the qualities of scholarship, leadership, character, and service to both the school and the community.

Each year new members are inducted into this group. The faculty committee has determined that the qualifying average for all juniors will be a numerical average of 87, and for seniors an average of 86. All potential inductees must have attend Maynard High School for at least one year. Qualified students are invited by letter to fill out a data information sheet which will include the names of three adult references from the school and community who will verify the service, leadership, and character qualities he or she possesses. A faculty committee appointed by the principal makes the final selection for membership. Students who have been inducted into a chapter of the National Honor Society in another school may transfer their membership to this chapter upon presentation of their membership card and certificate to the advisor of the National Honor Society.

A candlelight induction ceremony and reception for new members is held each fall. The National Honor Society members are expected to help with a fundraiser each year to help defray the cost of operating expenses of the chapter. They are also expected to be ready to tutor all high/middle school students who request this service.
