THE NATIONAL
HONOR SOCIETY
Membership in
the National Honor Society is based upon scholarship,
leadership, character and service. Membership carries with
it more than an honor; it should be considered the
beginning of an obligation.

Secondary School Principals. Potential candidates must meet
rigorous requirements in the categories of character, scholarship,
leadership and service.

students who achieve an overall average of 95% in their subjects

First
Honors: Special recognition is given to those students
who achieve an overall average of 90% in their subjects for the
academic year.
Second
Honors: Students earning an overall average of 85% for
the academic year are also given special recognition.
In order to be considered

requirements listed above, a letter of recommendation
from a Bishop Ford Faculty member,
must have completed both freshman and sophomore years,
must have been in Bishop Ford
Central Catholic High School for no less than one
