NJHS Criteria (TBA)
NJHS Meetings (TBA)

What is National Junior Honor Society?
Membership in NJHS is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a junior high school student. NJHS provides an outstanding opportunity to grow with academically accomplished peers who are sharpening the habits needed for success in high school and beyond.

Who is eligible to apply?
Seventh grade students are invited to apply based on their 1st semester (math, science, language arts, history) core class average (not rounded). Below are the minimum required averages depending upon how many honors classes are taken:
-All Honors: 92.00
-3 Honors: 93.00
-2 Honors: 94.00
-1 Honors: 95.00
-All level: 96.00

Am I automatically a member?
No. NHJS membership is a privilege, not a right, according to the constitution of the national organization. Although you may fulfill the scholarship component of NJHS membership, you must show that you can also fulfill the leadership, character, service and citizenship components. Usually in February, eligible students will be notified. Eligible students must fill out an application. No late or incomplete applications will be accepted. Completed applications are due before Spring Break. Exact dates will be determined by the Advisors.

How am I selected for NJHS?
A Faculty Council consisting of 5 teachers will review all membership applications. In a closed meeting, the Faculty Council will decide which candidates fulfill all 5 pillars of the National Junior Honor Society. The NJHS advisor(s) and the school principal are not part of the decision process.
What will be expected of me as a Knox Junior High NJHS member?
-Annual dues of $20 due in May following the Induction Ceremony
-Attendance at 30-minute monthly meetings
-Maintain an 85% semester average for the four core classes (math, science, language arts, history)
-Complete 30 service hours (10 of which must directly benefit the Knox community)
-Other activities as necessary

Can I be dismissed from NJHS?
Yes. Any member who falls below the standards of scholarship, service, leadership, character or citizenship may be considered for discipline or dismissal from the Knox chapter of NJHS. Violations of law or school regulations can result in immediate consideration of the dismissal of the member. Dismissed members must surrender any membership emblems to the advisor.
