Junior
Honor
Society
(NJHS)
The
National
Junior
Honor
Society
is
the
middle
school
level
of
the
National
Honor
Society.
This
group
is
the
premier
organization
established
to
recognize
outstanding
middle
school
students.
This
is
more
than
just
an
honor
roll:
NJHS
serves
to
honor
those
students
who
have
demonstrated
excellence
in
the
areas
of
Scholarship,
Leadership,
Service,
Character,
and
Citizenship.
These
characteristics
have
been
associated
with
membership
since
the
beginning
of
the
organization
in
1929.
To be eligible for membership at the Heard County Middle School chapter of NJHS, a student must meet five specific standards.
• Scholarship- A minimum of a 3.75 GPA by the end of the second 9 weeks for both 7th and 8th graders.
• Service- Students should show some evidence or interest in doing community service.
• Character, Leadership, and Citizenship- Good recommendations from your teachers and other evidence.
Every member of NJHS is required to complete 10 hours of community service in the school and 10 hours of community service in the community. Students develop their project ideas during the year and must complete their service hours in order to be honored at the induction ceremony with a NJHS insignia pin.
