The National Honor Society is more than an honor roll. Our chapter sets standards for membership grounded in a student's outstanding performance in four areas: scholarship, service, leadership, and character. These four criteria form the foundation on which our chapter and its activities are built.
The Buccaneer Chapter recognizes juniors and seniors at Laney High School who have distinguished themselves academically and demonstrated a genuine commitment to serving their school and community.
Criteria for Selection
Students who maintain a cumulative weighted GPA of 3.5 or higher meet the scholarship requirement, and are then considered on the basis of service, leadership, and character.
Reflected in a student's voluntary contributions to school and community: given freely, without compensation, and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit.
Student leaders are resourceful and dependable. They solve problems well, promote school activities, contribute ideas, and model a positive attitude through their words and actions.
A student of good character upholds principles of morality and ethics, cooperates with others, demonstrates honesty and reliability, and shows courtesy, concern, and respect for all.
