Mu Alpha Theta honors excellence in mathematics.
Lemont High School welcomed its third class of Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society inductees with a brief ceremony Nov. 13.
A total of 62 students were honored for their excellence in mathematics - the second-largest class of inductees in the chapter’s brief history.
Mu Alpha Theta is a national high school and two-year college mathematics honor society whose membership annually includes nearly 100,000 students at more than 2,000 schools across the country. Mu Alpha Theta recognizes and encourages students who enjoy and excel in mathematics. Honorees are dedicated to an interest in mathematics and to developing strong scholarship in the subject.
To be eligible for induction, students must compile an overall cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better; complete both Algebra II and Geometry; and maintain a GPA of 3.5 or better in all math classes. Once inducted, students also must fulfill membership obligations. Since 2011, Lemont High School’s Mu Alpha Theta honorees have totaled more than 1,000 volunteer hours working in the Math Center and with individual students. Members are eligible for national scholarships.
