Honor Societies
Overview
Membership into a National Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a student. Westbury Christian School hosts chapters in the National Honor Society, the National Junior Honor Society, and is a charter member of the newly formed National Elementary Honor Society. These groups bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers, and communities.
Similar to the WCS three-dimensional approach, these national honor societies strives to recognize the total student – the one who excels in all these areas. The standards used for selection are:
Scholarship – Demonstrated by maintaining a specified overall grade point average
Character – Demonstrated by behavior inside and outside of the classroom
Leadership and Service – Demonstrated by activities on and off campus
Membership is more than an honor. It incurs a responsibility and a continuing obligation to demonstrate the outstanding qualities that resulted in the original invitation. Membership also carries a responsibility to the local chapter.
