Once inducted, the student must complete 5 hours of community service each term, and a total of 22 hours of tutoring in the Academic Center. It also has a prior community serivce hour requirement in order to get in. Juniors need 60 hours and seniors need 80 hours. It is totally ridiculous and bars many well qualified students from entry into National Honor Society.
