Honor Roll
Honor Roll recognition is designed to honor our high-achieving students. The program is held as part of the Student Achievement Night. Categories for recognition are as follows:
- Honors with Distinction: 3.8 or above for a semester
- Honors: 3.5-3.79 for a semester
National Honor Society
NHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Four main pillars have guided chapters of NHS from the beginning: to create enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership and to develop character in the students of secondary schools. These pillars also translate into the criteria used for membership selection in each local chapter.
Juniors who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above at the end of their first semester will receive an invitation to apply to NHS. Invitations will be sent to students after the first semester grades have been posted. All students who apply to NHS must have 30 hours of community service hours completed and properly documented, a complete application and faculty evaluations on file by the deadline in March.
If selected by the faculty committee for induction, students will be invited to attend the induction ceremony, which will be held in April. Once inducted, National Honor Society members will be expected to attend meetings throughout the school year, complete NHS sponsored service projects and adhere to the written National Honor Society Code of Conduct.
Service “E” Awards
The Service “E” is an award in the form of a certificate and/or a pin given at Student Achievement Night as recognition of service to the school or community. Service “E” is the highest non-academic honor a student may earn at East High. Service “E” pins are non-academic pins that may be worn at graduation.
Student Achievement Night
Student Achievement Night recognizes student achievements in the areas of Honor Roll, Service E and other school based awards. The evening serves as a wonderful opportunity for family and to gather and honor the many accomplishments of the students in grades 9 through 12. The achievement night is held in the spring at East High School.
World Language Honor Society
The World Language Honor Society recognizes those who have maintained an “A” for three consecutive semesters of high school foreign language with special recognition going to those who study more than one language. Students are invited to join annually in the spring.
