FAQ

How do I apply?

Applications go live in April for students wishing to join the subsequent Fall.

Is NHS just based on GPA? How is it different from CSF?

While academics are an integral component of NHS, it is not strictly an academic organization. The four pillars (Character, Service, Leadership, Scholarship) are equally weighted. If you are looking for a purely academic organization, you can submit paperwork for inclusion in CSF, the California Scholarship Federation.  Please see your counselor for information on CSF. CSF does not meet regularly and engage in campus and community leadership activities. Students in CSF can also be a part of NHS but membership in one has no bearing on membership in the other.  

Can I be in NHS and other campus organizations?

There are 4 recognized leadership groups on the CDM high school campus:

  • ASB
  • HRC
  • NHS
  • PAL
  • ​AYS

As per administrative policy, students are only permitted to be a member of one leadership group. NHS members can be members of other clubs, sports, and campus activities that are not one of the four leadership groups.
