  • Weaver Academy is preparing to select a new group of National Honor Society members. Please read this information BEFORE attempting to apply.

    We are a chapter of the National Honor Society and are bound by its constitution and by-laws.  The selection criteria and process is outlined below.

    The National Honor Society is an organization which recognizes outstanding achievement in the following 4 areas:

    1. Scholarship (the minimum is a weighted GPA of 4.1)
    2. Leadership
    3. Character
    4. Service

    Membership is an honor, not a privilege, and is based on a student’s overall achievement in these 4 areas.  The GPA alone does not guarantee membership.

    A student MUST have been enrolled at Weaver Academy, as a PVA student, for at least one semester before he/she is eligible for membership in NHS. A student must be a member of the junior or senior class. 

    All applications will be completed online. 

    A completed application packet will include:

    1. Application Tuesday October 18th by 11:59pm. 
    2. Teacher recommendation from each Spring 2022 teacher. Teachers will submit these online. Ms. Sumpter will send the link. It is important that you contact each teacher to submit your recommendation. Please provide them with your Student ID and full name as recorded in PowerSchool (no nicknames) to enter into the form. In the event a teacher is no longer at Weaver Academy, please inform Ms. Sumpter immediately so alternate arrangements can be made.

    The students will be reviewed in the following three areas.

    • Character (5 point maximum)
    • Leadership (5 point maximum)
    • Service (5 point maximum)

    These three components are very important and the Faculty Council (group of 5 faculty members) will consider each completed application fully and equitably to determine who becomes a member of the National Honor Society.

    In addition to the GPA, the student must have a majority vote by the Faculty Council for consideration for membership.

    Teacher recommendation forms are confidential, and the teachers will submit them by Friday October 21st. It is the responsibility of the applicant to secure recommendations in a timely manner.

    Reminder: Only eligible students are permitted to apply. An invitation was sent to your school provided email address. 

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Sumpter via email: sumpten@gcsnc.com
