CSF/NHS membership in CSF is an honor conferred upon students in recognition of scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Students must apply for membership at the beginning of each semester (membership is based on a previous semester's grades) and must meet the deadlines for sign-ups and meeting attendance. Membership is based on a point system with 3 points given for each "A" grade and 1 (one) point given for each "B" grade. One additional point shall be granted for a grade of A or B in an AP or Honors course, up to a maximum of two such points per semester. No matter how many courses a student takes, only 5 courses may count towards CSF membership (P.E. or any class that counts for P.E. does not count towards membership but a "D" or "F" grade in P.E. or any other subject automatically disqualifies the student from membership). Any student with 3 or more "A's" excluding P.E., or taking honors classes and getting "B's" is urged to apply for membership. 10 points are needed for membership, 7 of these points must come from an approved list of courses and the other three can come from any course which is granted full semester credit. Sealbearer status is obtained when a student has maintained membership four out of six semesters (One semester must be from senior grades). For Lifetime membership the 9th grade and first semester of the 10th grade do not count and one of the semesters must be based on Senior grades. Note: Freshmen may join the first semester only if they came from a school which had a CJSF Chapter and they earned Honor's status in CJSF. Membership is not automatic, the student must apply each semester, and attend one meeting per semester in order to be a member. NHS students must apply for membership at the beginning of each semester (membership is based on the previous semesters grades.)
