The selection process begins at the end of the school year (by the beginning of June). It usually takes around three weeks, and all high school faculty is involved in the process by voting on the candidate lists provided by the Guidance Office. All students in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades with a minimum CGPA of 3.5 are eligible for membership. First, all those who have a 3.5 cumulative GPA are sent an application (that include all their services in the areas of sports, community service co-curricular activities, etc), those who wish to apply should send those in by the deadline; those who do not meet the deadline specifications are not considered to go through the following steps. The advisor, will then send a questionnaire to all teachers on campus, asking about each student, and asking them to write comments about the applicants. She also sends a similar questionnaire to other club advisors. Then a council of 5 teachers, men, women, foreigners and Peruvians are selected, but keep in mind that the advisor or the principal never have a vote in the process. After the council is chosen, they meet, and talk about each of the applicants, when they are done they take a vote, and if a specific student receives at least 3 votes they are accepted, and will be inducted during the ceremony. It is very important though that you know there is no maximum or minimum number of students inducted each year, therefore there could be 54 students inducted or only 1, it all depends on whether they met the criteria, and they received at least 3 votes from the council of teachers. The list of new inductees remains a secret until the day before the ceremony. |
