Invitations: Full-time State High and Delta High students in the second semester of their sophomore and junior years who have maintained a cumulative unweighted GPA of 3.75 will receive an invitation to apply to NHS. GPAs were run on Feb. 3 to determine the cumulative GPA of all completed courses as well as the first semester of year-long courses. Invitations for the April 2023 induction class will be mailed to students' primary mailing address. Students have been informed they will be receiving an invitation via email on February 6. If you believe you meet this criteria, but did not receive an invitation, please email jls66@scasd.org.
Selection time-line: Applications for the coming year will be due on March 15 by the end of the school day, with no exceptions or extensions for any reason. Selection is based on a rubric that is scored by a faculty council. Applicants are informed of the decisions in mid-April and induction will be held in the evening in late April.
