National Honor Societies always seem to struggle with eligibility. Whether it's the students that are just below the minimum GPA or students that fall short on the other three pillars. A more rarely thought of case is that of "part-time students". Whether the student is part time at the local high school and part time at the career center, or at the high school and local community college, or whichever unique combination you find, there is an answer, although in some situations, that answer is about as clear as mud!

In speaking with a school a few weeks ago, I found that their selection process was a bit off. Instead of using a Faculty Council for selection, the Faculty Council (FC) gave recommendations based on student forms, then the NHS Adviser selected the students that would be inducted. For schools that hold chapters with NHS/NJHS, this process is incorrect and the appropriate way to select members is spelled out in the National Constitution.
