The Honor Society recognizes the value of non-competitive public speaking and/or performances, as well as service to community. Points can be earned in a number of ways.
Audience Speaking Engagements - If a student delivers a 4-minute or longer speech to an audience of at least 25 adults beyond high school age, that student may receive 5 points, per speech. There is a limit of 4 speeches per day. For each speech of at least 4 minutes given to an audience of at least 25 adults beyond high school age: 5 points, limit of four speeches per day.
Judging - If a student judges at a novice or middle school contest, s/he will earn 2 points per hour judged. There is a limit of 4 rounds a day.
Middle School Coaching - High school students who coach during middle school practices (tournament coaching does not apply) may earn 2 points per hour. A maximum of 50 points per year may be recorded for coaching.
Theatrical Performances - Students may earn points for acting/theatrical performances and/or theatre/festival competition. Each performance in front of an audience permits an individual to receive 5 points. There is a maximum of 20 points that may be earned for any given play, competitive readers theatre selection, one act team, ensemble, choral reading group, etc. Note: Mime and non-speaking roles may not earn points.
Notes:
Non-Competitive Speaking/Service Activities points are limited in a given year. A student may earn up to 200 service points per year, and service points can be retroactively recorded only for the current and immediate past school years. Students may not earn competitive points and service points at the same time.
Students may also be recognized for outstanding service. For every 100 service points, a student earns a Student Service Citation. For more information, please refer to the High School Chapter Manual.
