Got an invitation letter to the National Junior Honor Society from the school today. I don't see value in spending money on this honor society, when the grades are already proof of academic excellence.
Im pretty sure DD got the same invitation when she was a junior. At the time I checked with the guidance counselor and he tactfully steered me away from it.
DD has been fairly active but has been sure to stay active only in what she cares about. she found that having too many irons in the fire is too stressfull, so sometimes you have to say no. she was selective in picking courses for her senior year as well where she dropped French (that she has been excelling at since 5th grade) and is taking psychology instead. her math teacher wanted her to take Calculus (which she will never need) and instead is taking AP Statistics. shes coming out of high school with a good GPA and well rounded curriculum.
she has applied to 5 schools (3 are DIII)and heard from the first yesterday- they offered her an academic scholarship that will cover something like a 40% of the total cost, every year for 4 years. they have a pretty good DIII softball program.
Academics can be huge in the DIII world
