• Members of the faculty are asked for input regarding their professional reflections on a candidate’s service, character, citizenship, faith, and leadership activities.
• These forms are then reviewed by an anonymous five-member Faculty Council which is appointed by the Principal

Member Expectations:
All members must maintain scholastic GPA of 94 or above with no rounding throughout tenure in the CTTCS Honor Society. Anyone falling below is put on probation for a trimester. Failure to improve leads to dismissal. Once dismissed, a student may not be readmitted into the Honor Society.
 
All members are expected to also maintain a high level of Conduct and Effort with the above consequences applying if these levels decline. At the notification, candidates are made aware of the various obligations that are a part of membership (attendance at monthly meetings, participation in honor society service projects, and at least one individual service project each year). Candidates, in consultation with their parents, may then accept or decline membership. Those candidates who accept membership are inducted in a formal ceremony.
