National Junior Honor Society The National Junior Honor Society is a service organization that inducts students based on scholarship, leadership, service, character and citizenship. Students are first picked based on scholarship. In their first two marking periods of their seventh grade year, they need to have a cumulative average of 90. They are then given application forms that a junior high faculty council will look at to determine if the student is eligible based on the areas mentioned above. Students will then go through the induction ceremony that is held in May. In order to remain in the NJHS, students need to maintain a cumulative average of 88. Any student falling below will be put on academic probation for a marking period. If that student doesn't get his/her grade up to an 88 or above, they will be dismissed from the NJHS. They also need to maintain high standing in the other criteria areas. Throughout the school year we have at least one meeting a month to discuss objectives for the month. All students are required to attend. Since we are a service group, we help out in many areas when needed. Some volunteer work we have done in the past are:
-Operation Santa Claus -Bowling For Kids' Sake (Big Brother's Big Sister's) |
