Tuz...Are you sure?
Only people eligible are juniors and seniors, I thought.
100%.
He got the application about 3 weeks ago.
I'm looking at the letter from the principal, as well as the NHS membership commitment contract.
Induction ceremony is May 8th. Maybe the induction if for the coming Junior year.

Good thing he gets his smarts from his mom, eh Z? Congrats. 
From my perspective, and after reading posts from Mr. Oramand, i get the impression that he views himself as a social conscience for us all. It does strike me as there is some other "agenda" that he wants to push or just tell us how concerned he his for us. In the sense of open disclosure, i suggest mr. ormond posts the link on his web site that discusses the topic of other members of the baseball community he has difficulty with.
Tuzi....
In our situation, at least at LT, the induction ceremony does happen at the end of the junior year. This is normal across the board for the NHS from what I understand. However, maybe some things have changed. What ever the case maybe, congratulations to your son!
But, I'm still confused as to what Mr. Ormand is trying to accomplish??????

A favorite occupation of many is is to go round in circles or loops. This can be boring for most, but some are able to learn best in this way. Perhaps this is a reflection of the repetitive and stereotyped activities of thier daily lives. Or perhaps it signifies that people prefer familiarity rather than whatever is new and different.
Accepting change is not easy. Many individuals struggle with change their entire lives which results in confusion. However, mental loops do have a purpose. Most people are not willing to learn from life. Hence the necessity of endlessly repeating subconscious responses until the person does learn can be helpful to those who just don't comprehend or get the obvious.
Congrats to all Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors who will be inducted into NHS in the coming weeks. Working hard in the classroom all adds up and makes a huge difference as one goes on in life.
Getting it done on and off the field is where it counts.

Mark...just when I was feeling some empathy for you.
Don't be such an elitest. I think most people here already knew and have no need to go round in circles or loops to learn something they already were on top of.
Congrats to all NHS Members and nominees, and also to every kid who does a nice job in the classroom, baseball field, art studio or any other area where they have interest and give effort.
The NHS (BTW my son is a member) is a great thing, but no matter what a kid's effort is, they may not qualify. Any kid can prepare for success through many means regardless of their academic ability, and those kids deserve as much recognition as anyone.
JMHO

Mark,
Besides waving your finger out in space, pointing out other peoples shortcomings and flaws in order to make yourself look smarter, do you have other favorite occupations?
I offer congratulations to any person that works hard and achieves his/her best, regardless of what that threshold might be.
You see Mark, unlike you, I don't pretend to be God. Throwing 90 mph and being an NHS member begins with God given abilities.

Your rhetoric is tiresome and tedious. This entire thread is pointless, which is no surprise considering you began it.
Your loquatiousness, while interesting to you, does nothing for others except allow them to see exactly what your agenda is.
If we all stop posting to this thread it will go away. I hope to have said my last piece.

On May 1, 2007 Jack Cinamon (Class of 2009) and Jason Ormond (Class of 2009), members of the Whitney Young baseball team were inducted into the Windy City Chapter of the National Honors Society along with 81 other students.
Dr. Joyce Kenner announced at the NHS Induction Ceremony that Whitney Young finished as the Runner-Up to California in the National Academic Decathalon Competion held in Waikiki, Hawaii this past weekend. Young was among 38 state championship teams competing for the National Title. El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills, California won the Academic Decathalon National Championship.
Dr. Kenner congratulated these students on their selection and membership to NHS. She said that this accomplishment was noteworthy and encouraged the students to "wear it on their sleeve" as they had accomplished and achieved something that was above and beyond the high standards of what the school requires.
Congratulations to all area baseball players who achieved induction into NHS.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark, I should know better but I'm going to ask one more time how is this a state championship team when most of the schools in this state don't participate AND it is not an IHSA sactioned event? Kind of like me claiming that my girl's softball team was State Champs since they won the Troy, Illinois softball title. Instead of trying to give me the "boxer defense" where you try to change the subject by bobbing and weaving, answer the questions I presented earlier which included both those raised here as well as the percentage of IHSA schools that participate in this event.
Note to all others, if Mark wants to call it the Chicago Title, then that is alright but to blow this up into something that it is not is just not acceptable.

Upon further review, I have found that one Tennessee school has 11 "state titles" and a Wisconsin school has 13. 35 Total teams went to this event. I wondered again about those state title claims until I found an article about the championship team. In that article, I believe in the LA Times, it mentions that a totle of 350 kids were tested nation wide. I'm in favor of any academic endeavors. I question claims of superioritty, elitism, arrogance etc. based upon skeptical data and even more so when the term "state title" is used. I've won a couple of them granted by the IHSA in baseball and so, I don't use that term lightly. I have the upmost respect for any IHSA activity where participants are awarded STATE TITLES!
Congratulations to everyone associated with the NHS and those who have received recognition.
IMO, this thread has also run its course.
