National Junior High Society

NJHS is an organization that creates enthusiasm for scholarship, stimulates a desire for service, promotes leadership, develops character, and encourages good citizenship in eighth grade at Saint Andrew Catholic School and in the community. To be invited into this society, a student must be identified as academically eligible for consideration. Eligibility is determined by a student’s seventh-grade cumulative grade point average, which must meet or exceed our chapter’s scholarship standards, currently set at 93%. Students who meet the academic standards are invited to apply at the beginning of their eighth-grade year.  In addition to educational standards, membership in NJHS is based on service, leadership, character, and citizenship.

To be selected, students must complete a candidate application form. The application is reviewed by the chapter advisory board, comprised of five teachers and an administrator. Admittance to the National Junior Honor Society is based on a rubric-based point system. If a student meets or exceeds these standards, they will be accepted into the chapter.
