Selection Procedure
The Faculty Advisory Council (5 faculty members) selects candidates on the basis of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Students must have attended MHS for at least one full semester in order to be eligible for membership, have a cumulative GPA of 94 or above, currently ranked as a sophomore, junior, or senior and an active member of the MHS Academic Team. Once these requirements have been met, the Council will be given a list of eligible candidates to select using either a "Yes" or "No" vote. If a candidate receives 3 or more "No" votes, they are not eligible for induction that year.
