    The Poolesville Chapter of the National Honor Society will open up applications for the 2024-2025 school year in early May.  On the application, you will be asked about your GPA / WGPA, your SSL hours, your leadership experience, and why you want to be considered for membership. You will also submit the names of five (5) teachers who you will ask for recommendations. If you are in Global, Humanities, or SMCS, at least two recommendations should be from teachers who have taught you in a course related to your House (i.e., Magnet Precalculus for SMCS students) and at least two recommendations should be from teachers who taught you in a course unrelated to your House. Teachers will be provided with ane online form to recommend you; you must accurately enter their email. Please make sure to ASK them if they are comfortable recommending you before entering their email!
