National Junior Honor Society
National Junior Honor Society (NJHS)
The National Junior Honor Society promotes the celebration of academic excellence. Scholars in grades 7 and 8 who demonstrate a consistently high level of academic performance, including an overall average of at least 90 with a minimum grade of 85 in each core class, are invited to participate. The NJHS induction ceremony occurs once a year in May.
To gain membership, you must also demonstrate qualities of leadership, service, good character, and citizenship. Opportunities are provided through the NJHS to assist the members in further developing these qualities. As leaders, members must exert a wholesome influence on the school community. As servers, they are committed to the idea of volunteering their time and talents in order to help create a better tomorrow. By demonstrating such qualities as reliability, honesty, and sincerity, members hope to prove by example, that they value excellent character. Finally, through willingness to participate responsibly in the affairs of the school and community, our National Junior Honor Society members develop citizenship.
