Meet the PVS students who qualify as members of our state honor societies: California Scholarship Federation for high-school students and California Junior Scholarship Federation for middle-school students. The California Scholarship Federation is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to recognize and encourage academic achievement and community service among middle and high school students in California. There are approximately 1500 chapters in middle school and high schools throughout the state (CSF website). Palm Valley School has active chapters in both CSF and CJSF. Students qualify each semester using the grades earned in the previous semester. If they become long-standing members through multiple semesters, our upper-school members will graduate with honors as CSF Sealbearers and our middle-school members will be acknowledged as Honor Members at 8th-grade Commencement.
