The National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) is open to all students who have met five criteria: scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. The basic scholarship requirement is a cumulative GPA of 3.75. Each year the National Junior Honor Society completes multiple community service projects in which all the members of the society are involved. Each quarter, members are expected to do 10 hours of community service and turn in a copy of their report cards to verify their GPA. Regular attendance at monthly meetings is also expected. With induction into the National Junior Honor Society, a member assumes the obligations listed above. If a member fails to meet the requirements throughout the year, then he/she shall be dismissed from NJHS.

I understand that if I am inducted into the National Junior Honor Society, I will be required to uphold the responsibilities described above and I am willing to dedicate the necessary time to NJHS. I also attest that my application is complete as specified above. I also understand that upon acceptance I will pay the required membership fee of $20.00, by March 31st, 2020. This fee covers a variety of projects we work on each year, a special gift for the member upon completion and the required fee. The membership fee is a yearly fee; this will cover the 2020-2021 school year. Please see Mr.Stamey for questions.
