National Elementary Honor Society at Straughn Elementary

Straughn Elementary School’s Honor Society is a local chapter of the National Elementary Honor Society, designed to recognize outstanding elementary students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship and responsibility. Membership of the group is limited to 4^th and 5^th grade students who have maintained a 90 academic average in the core curriculum subjects. At the end of the 3^rd nine week reporting period, teachers will average grades, without P.E., and if this average is a 90 or above, students will be considered as a new inductee into the Honor Society. Students will not be considered as Honor Society candidates if they 1) have repeated their current grade; and/or 2) have committed a Class II, Class III, or Class IV offense according to the Code of Conduct for the current year. Dismissal from Honor Society will occur if a student commits a Class II, Class III or IV offense, at which time the student will be counseled by the principal and the Honor Society sponsor prior to dismissal. Parents will be notified in writing should a dismissal be agreed upon. A failing grade in any subject disqualifies students for membership. Students must have attended Straughn Elementary for a minimum of one full semester prior to induction into the Honor Society. All students wishing to be considered for an office including President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer must have at least one written reference from a teacher and one from a non-relative community member in good standing.
