The students are all members of the Class of 2022: Tim Cole-French, Donald Le, Ryan Nguyen, and James O’Connell.
Each year eligible juniors and seniors are invited to apply for membership in the NHS. Applications are reviewed by a committee of BC High teachers to confirm that each student has attained a high standard of each of these characteristics: scholarship, character, leadership, and service.
A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 is required of all applicants. Beyond that, applicants must be a positive presence in their academic classes. They must show initiative and dependability, work well with other students, exhibit a strong work ethic, and demonstrate openness to growth.
