In order to be inducted, you must first be deemed academically eligible and then you may submit your NHS Candidate Form that documents WDHS Activities, Community Service & Leadership.

- Non-rounded, weighted 92.0 cumulative GPA after 4 semesters as a Junior and after 6 semesters as a Senior.
- Maintenance of a weighted 92.0 cumulative GPA after induction.
- Outstanding character.
