Summer Reading Assignments Every student is required to read over the summer according to his/her upcoming class selection. Families may either purchase the book (new or used), borrow from the public library, or read the selection on an e-reader; however, all students should have a copy of their required reading on the first day of class in August. While there are no outside assignments, other than annotations, attached to these readings, all teachers will be assessing students within the first few days of class. (Assessments may include, but are not limited to, essays, objective tests, written analyses, etc.) Thus, taking notes, in addition to the required annotating, over the readings is recommended. If you have any questions, please contact Christina Neukam (department chair) at cneukam@brebeuf.org.

National Honors Society News
Brebeuf Jesuit’s chapter of the National Honor Society would like announce a few changes to the program for the 2017-2018 school year. NHS will now be more closely following the school calendar, and will open the application process up to sophomores, juniors and seniors this August, with induction to be held in Mid-September. Rising Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are all encouraged to apply. Applications will be available in the counseling office at the start of the school year. Secondly, Lindsay Gross will no longer be moderating NHS. Ms. Gross has been instrumental to NHS during her two years moderating, and we are sad to see her step back. Filling Ms. Gross’ absence will be Tyrene Hartsell of the Academic Counseling Department. Lastly, please note that the GPA requirements for the 2018-2019 school year will be increasing from a 3.5 to a 3.75 on the 4.0 scale. Students initiated under the current policy will be expected to maintain a 3.5 through their senior year. Starting in the Fall of 2018, new inductees will be required to have, and maintain, a 3.75 GPA to be considered for membership. Students interested in applying should note that ten hours of community service will be required by any student wishing to gain membership, beyond that requested of students in their community service class. We hope students will find time this summer to meet these goals.

The program lasts for six weeks and meets one-time per week for two hours. There will be multiple sessions offered throughout the school year.
