National Honor Society (NHS) – Chapter # 027553
The National Honor Society is the front-runner of organizations and societies that promote appropriate recognition for students.  Selection is based on four criteria:  1) Scholarship, 2) Leadership, 3) Service, and 4) Character.  To fulfill the scholarship requirement, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better.  Students may petition for membership, but Crespi Carmelite High School considers membership an honor bestowed upon individual students from 10th, 11th and 12th grade.

NHS not only recognizes the academic efforts of our students, but exposes their generosity and dedication to their community. NHS members must not only maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5, but also volunteer to help at many of the Crespi High School functions and activities.

California Scholarship Federation (CSF) – Chapter 864sc
The CSF is a statewide organization whose purpose is to foster academic achievement and service to the school and community.  Any student who maintains membership in CSF for four semesters out of six in his last three years (one of which must be his senior year) and who has done assigned service to Crespi becomes a Gold Seal member.  This honor is signified by a gold seal on the diploma and enables the students to compete for college and university scholarships.Membership is for one semester and is conferred during the semester following the one in which the qualifying grades were earned.  In order to join CSF, a student must have a total of ten points based on last semester marks.  The CSF points are calculated as follows:

If a student receives a “D” or “F” grade in any subject, he is excluded from CSF membership for that semester.
