two teacher recommendation forms. The Thornwood NHS Faculty Council reviews the applicants’ materials, evaluating the applications for evidence of the students’ achievements in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service and character. These four qualities are the cardinal pillars of the National Honor Society Organization across the country. Students who have proven themselves in these four areas are selected to be inducted. Once inducted, students must maintain their scholarship level with a 3.25 GPA, as well as continue to hold themselves in highly esteemed character without discipline issues. Additionally, NHS members suuport the school and community by serving at least 30 hours per year that they are a member of the organization. Last year, the Thornwood NHS served over 2,000 hours, with many members exceeding 50 and 100 hours individually. The Thornwood National Honor Society partners with Life Source to hold three blood drives per year, and organizes other service events as well.
