What is NJHS?
Membership in the National Junior Honor Society is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a secondary student. The NJHS has worked hard to bring the accomplishments of outstanding students to the attention of parents, teachers, peers, and community. Chapters in more than 5,000 secondary schools across the nation strive to give practical meaning to the Society’s goals of scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship.
These five ideals have been considered as the basis for your selection. No student is inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Junior Honor Society strives to recognize the total student: one who excels in all these areas. The standards used for selection were:
Scholarship – 92 percent cumulative average in core classes
Leadership, Service, Character and Citizenship – These characteristics were all demonstrated by your activities and teacher recommendations.
Membership, however, is more than an honor. It carries with it more than certain privileges. It incurs a responsibility and an obligation to demonstrate those outstanding qualities that resulted in your selection.
Your membership also carries a responsibility to the chapter. If our chapter to the National Junior Honor Society is to be effective and meaningful, each member must become involved. Live up to your Service obligation by participating in all our chapter projects.
