Upon invitation, interested students will need to complete the data sheet to seek membership. The National Honor Society Faculty Council will select members after submission of the data sheets.

Members of the Grafton High School Chapter of National Honor Society are required to maintain high grades through a challenging schedule, and to exhibit the pillars of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service.

Members will complete a minimum of ten hours of documented service per quarter, as well as an Independent Service Project each year. This service goes hand in hand with the high moral and ethical character of NHS members. Members also must attend monthly chapter meetings, Induction and Senior Night.
