SCHOLASTIC HONORS & AWARDS

Each year seniors who have received scholarships, maintained enrollment in the California Scholarship Federation (CSF), the National Honor Society (NHS), National English Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, French Honor Society, and Math Honor Society, and who have been selected by the individual departments as outstanding students will be honored at the annual Seniors Honor Convocation evening held at Paraclete

High School. It is the student's responsibility to apply and re- main current with their membership applications, fees, and requirements for all honor societies. Each honor society has its own unique membership periods and fee schedules.
