National Junior Honor Society

7th and 8th grade students who earn a minimum of 87% in each class and satisfactory in non-graded subjects at the end of each semester are eligible for membership in the National Junior Honor Society. Each semester the eligible students are reviewed by the faculty for demonstrating exemplary behavior and characteristics in the following areas: character, citizenship, leadership, scholarship, and service. When a student is selected, he/she receives a certificate and gold seal, and a gold seal for each subsequent semester of membership in good standing. If a student fails to continue to demonstrate any of the five qualities, he/she will be on probation (member but no gold seal awarded) for one semester. If the reason for probation in not corrected the next semester, he/she will be dismissed from NJHS. Failure to maintain grades is an automatic reason for probation. Once a student is dismissed from NJHS, he/she cannot become eligible for membership again.

***Membership does not transfer from the National Junior Honor Society to the National Honor Society at the High School.
