Membership in the National Junior Honor Society is based upon excellence in five areas: scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character.  To be eligible for consideration for membership, students must have an overall A- (4.5) average (scholarship).  Seventh and eighth grade students who maintain that academic standing after the second marking period are invited to submit a packet of materials for review.  This packet allows students to identify activities, awards, honors, and experiences demonstrating excellence in, and commitment to the areas of leadership, service, citizenship and character.  A committee of faculty members reviews student packets.  Applicants with incomplete packets will be denied consideration.
