Other Notes:
- Records: The personal, contact, and response information submitted on a survey is kept private. Contact information is only used by the Honor Roll for communication purposes and any published reports will not include negative identifying information.

- Honesty: Survey responses are randomly checked for statistical accuracy. Exaggerated or intentionally falsified survey responses result in a school’s disqualification.
Application Instructions and Tips:
- Gather Statistics First: To reduce your survey completion time, we suggest gathering statistics first. Collecting information will make the process more efficient. The following checklists will assist you in this process:
- Time: Each survey can take over one hour to complete after gathering statistics.
- Thorough and Articulate: Complete each question clearly and thoroughly. Incomplete answers cannot be considered, and schools will not be contacted to submit missing information.
- Online: We encourage schools to apply online. If a school still wishes to complete a hard-copy application, the surveys can be downloaded from the website and must be submitted by the deadline with a $25 processing fee.
- Grades 9-12 Only: In your responses, please only include information for grades 9-12.
- Staff Help: In gathering information, we urge survey responders to work with fellow staff members. The guidance counselor, campus minister, chaplain are helpful, as is consulting the theology or social studies faculty.
- Comments: Feel free to expound on any responses in the additional comments section at the end of the survey.
- Extension: If extenuating circumstances force a school to miss the application deadline, a short extension can be arranged by contacting Honor Roll staff.
