New Tech High School is proud to announce that they have established a chapter of the California Scholarship Federation on campus. CSF recognizes academic excellence and is the oldest honor organization in the state. They currently have chapters in over 1600 high schools and middle schools. Students who qualify for Life Membership (Sealbearer) are recognized at graduation with a gold seal on their diploma, the life member pin, and a notation on the transcript that is sent to colleges and universities. It is an additional honor to be added to the academic resume. Students may be eligible to receive a total of $15,000 in scholarships through the CSF Seymour Memorial Award as well.
CSF will be holding a membership drive for New Tech students from August 26 through September 6. Membership is based on last semester's report card. Students in grades 10-12 qualify for membership in CSF by earning a prescribed number of points each semester. Membership applications will be available in the office. Students will then calculate their points and submit a copy of last semester's report card.
Following the initial membership drive, there will be another retroactive membership drive to recognize eligibility for membership in previous semesters. This will allow our current graduating seniors to qualify for Life Membership.
This is a great opportunity to honor our top students for their outstanding academic performance, so be sure to have your student pick up a CSF Membership Application in the office between August 26 and September 6, to find out if they qualify. Several parents are needed to assist with the membership drive. If you'd like to volunteer or have any questions please contact the CSF Coordinator at csfcoordinator@newtechhigh.org.
