National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), Advisor: Mrs. Jennings
National Junior Honor Society is a nationwide organization that recognizes outstanding middle school students. The society is more than just an honor roll. NJHS serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, character and citizenship. Membership not only recognizes students for their academic accomplishments, but challenges them to develop their character further through active involvement in school activities and community service.
To be eligible for acceptance into NJHS, students need to maintain an overall average of 89.5% in their core academic subjects for all of 6th grade and the first three quarters of 7th grade. Once a student is academically eligible, they will be notified that they are under consideration to be accepted and will need to complete a Personal Statement. A faculty advisory council will review the Personal Statement, and vote on candidates based on how well they demonstrate leadership, service, character and citizenship.
NJHS meets bi-weekly in room 104 at dismissal until 3:30. NJHS induction ceremony is May 9, 2023.
