Students who have completed winter trimester of their sophomore year with a cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.8 may be considered for National Honor Society. In addition, students in grades 10-11 with a 3.6 G P A and above and Honors Status may be considered for membership. Membership in the local chapter is an honor bestowed upon a student.

An application process is required for those who meet the requirements. Selection for membership is by a faculty council and is based on outstanding scholarship, service, leadership and character. Once selected, members have the responsibility to continue to demonstrate the qualities which earned them membership.

An Induction Ceremony will be held on Monday, May 22, 2023, for new inductees and returning members. New members must participate in our Induction Ceremony. Membership is transferred along with a student to a new school.

In order to be considered for this honor, the student must complete an application and information form which is given to eligible students in April. Student eligibility will first be determined by GPA. The areas of leadership, service (24+ documented hours that are not required by another organization from June until the time of application are required), and character must be demonstrated by the student and verified in the application.

This service hour requirement is important for upcoming 10th graders or 11th graders who hope to apply for membership this April.

EHS is a closed campus. Students are not allowed to depart from campus unless they have a valid pass to do so. Lunch time requires students to be in the Cafeteria (Commons) and not ordering in food. We have a Federally subsidized Food Program and cannot compete with that program. Any food delivered by services to the building, will be refused.

If a parent/guardian needs to have a student depart during the school day, or arrive late due to an appointment (medical, dental, counseling, etc.) a call to our Attendance Office is needed. Call 651-683-6911. A pass will be prepared for the student to depart and check back in upon return.

Students are not allowed to go to vehicles in the parking lot during the day – unless given a pass from the Attendance Office to do so. Call 651-683-6911

Eagan High School is committed to engaging students in activities that foster the knowledge, skills and habits of mind necessary to be active learners, purposeful thinkers and responsible citizens.
