Students interested in NEHS membership must have been at Harvard Elementary for at least one semester and attain Honor Roll status and a cumulative average of 85 or above in each subject during each of the two fall 9 week periods from the previous school year. Students must also attain a conduct grade no lower than satisfactory standing during the two 9 week periods being assessed.
Students considered for membership, based on the criteria mentioned above, must also complete a form submission (application) identifying different examples of their responsibility through action. As part of the form submission, students must also have their teacher fill out a recommendation rubric assessing the student's ability to exhibit the IB Learner Profile Attributes and Attitudes.
Students must identify 4 sufficient examples supporting each of the four areas of responsibility mentioned on the application and receive between 40-50 points from their homeroom teacher on the NEHS Learner Profile Rubric. The first 20 students to turn in their application and rubric to the main office, based on the indicators above, will receive an invitation of acceptance.
Students are chosen through an application process based on their outstanding academic achievement, demonstrated personal responsibility and their commitment to provide meaningful service to the school and community while developing essential leadership skills.
