Like many societies of merit at Parkland High School, La Société Honoraire de Français holds its members to stringent guidelines meant to encourage academic excellence. Applications to La Société Honoraire de Français are accepted after the following conditions have been met from French students:

• Student has studied French for at least two full years, and is currently enrolled in a third year;
• Student has maintained an A average for each year having studied French;
• Student holds an A (93%) in French in the marking period in which applications are considered.

Successful applicants are announced by the third marking period, for an induction ceremony to be held shortly thereafter. The induction ceremony, a culmination event for both current and new members. This ceremony is known for its solemnity and tradition, and is truly an experience for those involved. 

La Société Honoraire de Français continues to grow annually as the enrollment in Parkland School District likewise increases. As such, the Parkland chapter boasts over eighty members in the 2009 - 2010 school term. Such a large and diverse group achieves goals that would be logistically impossible without so many ambitious and talented individuals. Parkland's chapter encourages students to participate in Le Grand Concours, a national French competition, and saw two regional and state winners in 2009.  The chapter, in collaboration with the school's Le Cercle Français, is also working towards the creation of a non-profit organization to encourage sustained educational development in the francophone world, specifically in West African nations such as the Republic of Benin.
